TLHK4600

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The TLHK4600 is a single-color LED manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division, designed for through-hole mounting in a T-1 (3 mm) package. It features a red tinted diffused lens with a dome shape and measures 4.5 mm in height. The component operates at a peak wavelength of 568.5 nm, delivering an optical intensity of 4 mcd when driven at a forward current of 10 mA. Electrical characteristics include a typical forward voltage of 2.4 V and a power rating of 100 mW.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Features a diffused lens design to provide wide viewing angles and uniform light distribution.
• Utilizes a standard T-1 (3 mm) through-hole form factor for easy integration into legacy PCB layouts.

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Indicator lights for electronic equipment panels
• Status signaling in control systems
• Visual feedback in consumer appliances

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct binning and packaging configuration. Confirm that the required forward current and voltage parameters align with the target circuit design before finalizing procurement orders.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a diffused red indicator is required in a compact 3 mm through-hole footprint. Ensure the application environment supports the specified operating temperature range and that the 10 mA drive current matches available driver capabilities.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's discrete LED portfolio, specifically within the T-1 series optimized for general-purpose indication. It complements other variants in the family that differ primarily in lens coloration or emission wavelength while maintaining identical mechanical dimensions.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with TLHG4600 if green emission is acceptable instead of red. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics when substituting with generic 3 mm LEDs from other manufacturers.
