LTST-C190EKT Optoelectronics

The LTST-C190EKT discrete LED (Light-Emitting Diode) component is designed for use in a number of different applications, including the indication of system status, data transfer, or media file progress. The component uses a combination of plastic and ceramic components for durability and ease of assembly, with a temperature range of - 30 °C to +85°C, and an extended temperature tolerance to - 40°C.

The component is a three-color, surface mount component that provides a bright, visible indicator when power is supplied. It uses a combination of red, green and blue light-emitting diodes which can be used to either clearly signal the current system status, to cycle through a series of colors in sequence, or to pulse and dim within a specific color. As the component contains three different diodes, this provides a system designer the ability to have multiple visual indicators in one package.

The LTST-C190EKT discrete LED is designed to offer good uniformity of light output and long working life, with a 50,000 hour use life. The specifications for this component include viewing angle of 90° for all directions, electro-optical efficiency at 30mW, and forward current of 10mA to 20mA.

In terms of operation, the component is designed to work in response to an applied voltage variable supplied via two pins. When the voltage variable is applied, the LED will illuminate and the intensity of the light output will increase, up to the maximum level of brightness indicated by the specifications of the component. This allows the designer to easily control the visible light output of the component.

The structural design of the component also allows it to be used in a range of mounting configurations. The component has four mounting pads, and the component can be placed onto a PCB substrate or mounted directly onto a variety of other surfaces, allowing for greater flexibility in terms of design for the system designer.

In summary, the LTST-C190EKT discrete LED component is an all-in-one solution for providing bright and visible indication of system status, data transfer, or media file progression. With its temperature range, extended temperature tolerance, viewing angle, and mounting configurations, it is an ideal choice for industrial, commercial, and consumer applications.
