CUWY3SH.A3-4D-1-1-NB1-R18-AUO

LED Indication - Discrete

The CUWY3SH.A3-4D-1-1-NB1-R18-AUO is a type of LED indicator light commonly used in a variety of applications. They are discrete and are available in a range of sizes and shapes, from 2mm round to 2.5mm square. An LED is a simple semiconductor diode device which emits light when current flows through it. The main benefit of an LED light compared to an incandescent or fluorescent bulb is that it is efficient and long-lasting, consuming low amounts of electricity whilst providing a bright, visible light for years on end.

Application Field

The CUWY3SH.A3-4D-1-1-NB1-R18-AUO is particularly useful when used in industrial applications. As they are discrete and shockproof, they can be used in any environment, since they do not require any special insulation or protection. This makes them ideal for use outdoors and in high-powered machinery. In addition, they are often used in medical applications, where they can be used to monitor vital signs such as pulse rate, temperature and blood pressure.

LED indicators are also used in automotive, aerospace and railway industries, as they are able to provide a bright, reliable light for years on end. In particular, their ability to dissipate heat makes them ideal for use in aircraft wings and other structures. Additionally, they have been used in a variety of commercial applications, such as signage, traffic signals and gaming machines.

Working Principle

LEDs work on the principle of electroluminescence, where a voltage applied to the LED causes electrons within the semiconductor diode to become excited, releasing energy in the form of light. The colour of the light emitted is determined by the characteristics of the semiconductor material used, with different materials producing different colours. The intensity of the light is determined by the amount of current applied to the LED – a higher current leads to a brighter light.

The CUWY3SH.A3-4D-1-1-NB1-R18-AUO LEDs are typically supplied as a ‘lamp’ – a simple device consisting of the LED itself and a resistor, which limits the current flowing through the LED. This ensures that if a higher voltage is applied, the current will stay within a safe range and the LED will not overheat.

LED indicators are very reliable and long-lasting, with some models able to operate for up to 100,000 hours before they need to be replaced. This makes them ideal for use in applications where reliability and longevity are paramount.
