LEDs - Circuit Board Indicators, Arrays, Light Bars, Bar Graphs

Choosing a control component can be daunting for the uninitiated, especially when specs or terminology are unclear or hard to interpret. One component that gets overlooked is the 5612501100F part from TE Connectivity, which falls into the broad category of LEDs – circuit board indicators, arrays, light bars, and bar graphs, among other offerings. Knowing more about the application field and working principles of the 5612501100F can give users the confidence to know it will work in any application where it is called for.

Application Field

The 5612501100F is commonly used in a variety of fields and applications. Its primary use is as a display indicator in lighting and electrical equipment, as a component in signal order systems, and to provide position feedback in machine automation. Its ability to be attractive, durable, and low power makes it a great fit for signaling, alarm systems, electronic articles, home and electrical appliances, power indicators, machine tools, and many other industries.

Construction

The 5612501100F is a miniaturized LED in a radial through-hole package type. It is available in 2 colors – red and yellow – and contains two leads, one for positive and one for negative voltage. Each LED is enclosed in a transparent epoxy, which not only protects it from the environment but also helps in light diffusion, giving it a broad light output. The 5612501100F also has a low thermal resistance, meaning it has no issue remaining cool even with higher-power load applications.

Working Principle

The 5612501100F is a simple and reliable lighting component. The device works by receiving an electrical current, which is preset by the user, and allowing it to pass through the leads. The current then excites the electron molecules in the material, causing it to emit light in the visible spectrum.

Additional Features

The 5612501100F is a low power device and requires only 20mA of power to perform correctly. It also has a low current level tolerance, which ensures that LEDs do not perform weaker or brighter than what the user has set them to. It also has a wide working temperature range of -25 to 85 C, meaning it can operate in a variety of conditions with no issues. Finally, it has a long lifespan of 20000 hours, which means it can not only survive extreme environmental conditions but also does not require frequent replacement.

Conclusion

The 5612501100F is a versatile and reliable LED that can be used in a variety of applications and industries. Its small size and low power requirements make it a great option for smaller projects where a low amount of power is necessary. Its wide temperature range and long lifespan provide users with a device that they can count on in any environment. With the understanding of its application field and working principle, users can be sure that it will work in any place where it is called upon.
