QTLP601CRTR

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The QTLP601CRTR is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, housed in a compact 0603 (1608 metric) package. It emits green light with a peak wavelength of 570 nm and features a rectangular lens shape with water-clear transparency. The component operates at a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.1 V, delivering an optical intensity of 15 mcd. It supports a viewing angle of 100 degrees and functions within a temperature range of -40 C to +85 C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Standard brightness output optimized for indicator applications
• Water-clear rectangular lens ensures consistent light transmission
• Compact 0603 form factor suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indicators on electronic control boards
• Front panel illumination for consumer devices
• General-purpose visual signaling in industrial equipment

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer origin, as historical data indicates production by both Fairchild Semiconductor and Everlight. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the supplier, as records show conflicting declarations. Ensure the part number suffix matches the required packaging format, such as cut tape or reel, to align with assembly requirements.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard brightness green indicator is required in a 0603 footprint. Compare the 15 mcd intensity against application visibility needs. Consider the 2.1 V forward voltage drop for circuit design. Verify thermal management capabilities within the specified operating temperature range for the target environment.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This component belongs to the QTLP series of surface-mount LEDs designed for general indication purposes. The series offers various package sizes and colors, with the 0603 variant providing a balance between size and visibility. It serves as a fundamental passive optoelectronic element in modern electronics manufacturing.
