SSL-LX30FT4IGW

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The SSL-LX30FT4IGW is a dual-color light-emitting diode manufactured by Lumex Opto/Components Inc. It features a T-1 (3 mm) radial through-hole package with a diffused lens. The component emits red light at a peak wavelength of 635 nm and green light at 565 nm. Typical forward voltages are 2 V for the red section and 2.2 V for the green section. It operates at a forward current of 20 mA with a power rating of 105 mW. The viewing angle is specified as 100 degrees.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Dual-color emission capability combining red and green spectra within a single component
• Diffused lens design providing a wide 100-degree viewing angle for broad visibility
• Standard T-1 radial through-hole packaging suitable for general-purpose circuit board mounting

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication in electronic equipment requiring dual-state signaling
• Panel indicators where space constraints favor single-component dual-color solutions
• Consumer electronics status displays utilizing standard through-hole assembly processes

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing, as Lumex has issued PCN notices regarding obsolescence or end-of-life statuses for certain components in this family. Confirm that the dual-color specification matches the required application voltage and current limits. Ensure the diffused lens type aligns with the necessary visibility requirements for the target enclosure. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number to avoid confusion with similar single-color variants in the SSL-LX30 series.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a single LED location must provide two distinct visual states using red and green colors. The 100-degree viewing angle makes it suitable for applications where the indicator may not be viewed directly from the front. The T-1 form factor allows for easy integration into existing designs using standard 3 mm LED footprints. Consider the 20 mA forward current requirement for driver circuit design to ensure proper brightness without exceeding the 105 mW power rating.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This component belongs to the SSL-LX30 series of T-1 LEDs produced by Lumex. The series includes various single-color and dual-color options with different lens transparencies and wavelengths. The SSL-LX30FT4IGW specifically denotes the dual-color variant with diffused lenses. Other members of the family include single-color red, green, and amber LEDs with varying intensities and lens types, all sharing the same mechanical T-1 package dimensions.
