High Efficiency LED, Ø 3 mm Tinted Undiffused Package
FEATURES
• Choice of five bright colors
• Standard T-1 package
• Small mechanical tolerances
• Suitable for DC and high peak current
• Wide viewing angle
• Luminous intensity categorized
• Yellow and green color categorized
• Compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and in
accordance to WEEE 2002/96/E
19220
DESCRIPTION
The TLH.42.. series was developed for standard
applications like general indicating and lighting
purposes.
It is housed in a 3 mm tinted clear plastic package. The
wide viewing angle of these devices provides a high
on-off contrast.
Several selection types with different luminous
intensities are offered. All LEDs are categorized in
luminous intensity groups. The green and yellow LEDs
are categorized additionally in wavelength groups.
That allows users to assemble LEDs with uniform
appearance.
APPLICATIONS
• Status lights
• Off/On indicator
• Background illumination
• Readout lights
• Maintenance lights
• Legend light
PRODUCT GROUP AND PACKAGE DATA
• Product group: LED
• Package: 3 mm
• Product series: standard
• Angle of half intensity: ± 22°

Note:
Luminous intensity is tested at a current pulse duration of 25 ms. The above type numbers represent the order groups which include only a few
brightness groups. Only one group will be shipped on each bag (there will be no mixing of two groups in each bag).
In order to ensure availability, single brightness groups will not be orderable. In a similar manner for colors where wavelength groups are
measured and binned, single wavelength groups will be shipped on any one bag. In order to ensure availability, single wavelength groups will
not be orderable.
Note:
Wavelengths are tested at a current pulse duration of 25 ms.
