5552008F

LEDs – Circuit Board Indicators, Arrays, Light Bars, Bar Graphs – can be found everywhere in a variety of circuits and applications, connecting people, providing visual feedback, and controlling systems. One of the more reliable and modern types, the 5552008F LED, is widely used to provide visual feedback and display information. This LED array is comprised of three LED elements packed into a small, 3-pin mounting configuration and is suitable for through-hole mounting. It\'s an ideal choice for many applications, due to its low current draw, bright illumination, and small body size.

Physical Construction and Dimensions

The 5552008F is composed of a clear, molded plastic body with its three LED elements arranged in a 3-pin configuration. The leads are mounted in such a way that they won\'t move or rotate when the unit is installed on a PCB. The LEDs themselves are encased in a clear top-viewing casing, allowing them to be seen from the top even when encased in the plastic body.

The overall dimensions of the unit are 6.3 mm (0.25") in height and 17.3 mm (0.68") in width. Despite its small body size, the unit can be seen clearly due to the bright illumination produced by its LEDs. The overall operating temperature range of the unit is -40 to 75°C.

Working Principle and Electrical Specifications

The 5552008F LED is powered by an electrical current and is composed of a series of switches that turn on and off based on input signals. When current is applied to its input pins, it turns on its LED element, thus providing visual feedback and displaying information. The current draw required to keep its LEDs lit is extremely small, usually in the milliamperes range. This makes this LED array an ideal choice for many applications that require low-power solutions.

The electrical specifications of the 5552008F LED array include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.8V, a maximum reverse voltage of 35V, and a maximum forward current of 25 mA. The unit also has a minimum operating temperature of -10°C and a maximum operating temperature of +85°C.

Common Applications

The 5552008F LED is commonly used in a variety of applications, including automotive, electronics, and medical applications. It can be used to provide visual feedback and display information in a variety of ways, such as showing the status of a system or displaying the level of a liquid. The low current draw and bright illumination of the unit make it a great choice for these types of applications.

In automotive applications, the 5552008F LED array can be used to indicate the level of fuel in a tank or the amount of brake fluid in a system. In electronics applications, the LEDs can be used to display the status of a system or the position of a switch. In medical applications, the 5508F LED array can be used to indicate the level of a liquid in a tank or the position of a switch.

Conclusion

The 5552008F LED is a small, reliable LED array that provides bright, clear illumination when powered by an electrical current. Its small body size and low current draw make it an ideal choice for many applications, including automotive, electronics, and medical applications. The unit is composed of a clear, molded plastic body with three LED elements arranged in a 3-pin configuration, allowing it to be seen from the top even when encased in the plastic body. With its wide range of applications and reliable functionality, the 5552008F LED is an essential component for many circuits and systems.
