LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the VAOL-3MDE2 to confirm current manufacturing status and environmental compliance details. Ensure that the through-hole pin configuration matches the target PCB layout requirements. Cross-reference the electrical parameters with system design constraints to guarantee compatibility with existing drive circuits and thermal management solutions.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a green indication light with moderate brightness is required. The diffused lens provides a uniform light distribution suitable for general status signaling. Consider the 3 mm radial package dimensions for space-constrained applications. Verify that the 2.2 V forward voltage aligns with the available supply voltage and current limiting resistor calculations for the specific circuit design.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the VAOL series of single-color LEDs from Visual Communications Company. The series offers various lens styles and colors for different visibility needs. The VAOL-3MDE2 specifically addresses applications requiring a green signal with a diffused output characteristic. It represents a standard option for discrete LED indication in consumer and industrial electronics.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

The VAOL-3GRE4 is a related red LED variant from the same manufacturer but differs in color and intensity. Direct substitution requires verifying color code requirements and optical intensity specifications against the original design intent.
