TLDR5800

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The TLDR5800 is a high-intensity red LED from Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division, housed in a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole package with a clear, non-diffused dome lens. It operates at a peak wavelength of 630 nm and delivers a luminous intensity of 2500 mcd when driven at a forward current of 20 mA. The component features a low forward voltage of 1.8 V and supports a maximum power rating of 100 mW. Designed for robust performance, it withstands a reverse voltage of 6 V and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• High luminous intensity output optimized for visibility in standard indicator applications
• Low forward voltage characteristic enabling efficient drive currents
• Clear water-clear lens geometry providing focused light emission

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Power supply visual feedback
• Control equipment signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision upon procurement to confirm thermal resistance values and absolute maximum ratings. Ensure that the ordering suffix matches the required packaging format, as bulk quantities may differ from tape-and-reel configurations. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against authorized distributor catalogs to authenticate component origin and avoid counterfeit inventory.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring bright red indication with minimal drive power consumption. The T-1 3/4 form factor suits standard PCB mounting holes. Consider the 6 V reverse voltage limit when designing circuits exposed to transient back-EMF. Evaluate thermal management requirements if operating near the 100 mW power rating continuously.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This device belongs to Vishay's standard LED portfolio, utilizing conventional semiconductor materials for visible spectrum generation. The T-1 3/4 package represents a legacy but widely adopted mechanical standard for through-hole mounting. It serves as a direct replacement for older high-brightness red LEDs in industrial control panels and consumer electronics where space constraints are moderate.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the TLHK5800 variant, which offers higher intensity but requires adjusted current limiting due to different electrical characteristics. Verify pin compatibility and mechanical dimensions before swapping components in existing footprints.
