LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing, as manufacturing parameters may evolve. Confirm that the radial package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the supplier provides original manufacturer documentation to validate the 565 nm peak wavelength and 20 mcd intensity specifications against your design needs.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 4 mm through-hole form factor is required for green indication. The 80-degree viewing angle suits applications needing moderate directional visibility without excessive beam concentration. Consider the 10 mA forward current requirement for driver circuit design to ensure proper brightness levels while maintaining power efficiency within the system constraints.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's discrete LED indicator series, which utilizes solid-state lamp technology for durable visual signaling. The WP44GD represents a standard radial leaded configuration commonly used in general-purpose electronics. It complements other single-color LEDs in the lineup by offering a balance of optical intensity and mechanical compatibility with traditional PCB assembly methods.
