Z-212R

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Z-212R is a red T-1 3/4 (5mm) through-hole LED from JKL Components Corp. It features a clear lens and radial mounting. The component operates at a typical forward voltage of 1.7V DC with a test current of 10mA. It provides a minimum luminous intensity of 200 mcd. The device has a viewing angle of 30 degrees and a round domed top lens style. Maximum operating temperature is specified in datasheets.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Radial through-hole mounting configuration for standard PCB assembly
• Clear lens design with a round domed top for optimized light emission
• T-1 3/4 (5mm) standoff lead package structure

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel indicator lighting
• Power supply status indication
• Control board visual signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturing date code against the requested application requirements, as older components may have different storage sensitivity profiles. Confirm that the 1.7V forward voltage aligns with the driving circuit design to ensure proper current limiting. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by the final product regulations. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the PCB layout specifications exactly.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a red 5mm through-hole LED with low forward voltage is required. The 1.7V rating allows for direct interfacing with certain logic levels without excessive series resistance. Consider the 200 mcd minimum intensity for visibility needs. Compare with Z-212G if green illumination is needed instead. Verify the 30-degree viewing angle suits the optical path requirements.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

The Z-212R belongs to the Z-212 series of T-1 3/4 LEDs offered by JKL Components Corp. This series includes variants such as Z-212G for green light. These components are designed for general-purpose indication tasks. The series utilizes a standard radial lead format compatible with manual and automated insertion processes. They represent a legacy option for 5mm LED applications.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Z-212G serves as a color variant within the same package family.
