SSL-LX3044SRD-12V

LED indications are an important part of many applications, offering an easy-to-read visual representation of the state of a system. One type of LED indication is discrete, where one of several possible lights is lit to indicate different statuses. The SSL-LX3044SRD-12V is one such discrete indicator, commonly used to represent simple on/off, alarm, and warning statuses.

The SSL-LX3044SRD-12V is a 4-way, 6-pin (bicolor) LED module with gimbal-style mounting. It features an off white housing, built-in resistor, and a 12V operating voltage. In an on/off application, the SSL-LX3044SRD-12V simply displays either green or red depending on the status; while in other applications, the module can be wired to display orange, blue, or other colors.

The SSL-LX3044SRD-12V’s primary application field is in industrial electronic equipment, where it is used to give visual feedback to operators in real-time. Examples include factory indications, machine warnings, and alarm statuses. Its simple construction and low cost make it a popular choice for automation and control systems.

In terms of working principle, the SSL-LX3044SRD-12V is a basic two-wire LED indicator. The output wire is connected to a DC power supply, while the input wire is connected to the system’s status sensor. When the status changes, the indicator light will turn on or off accordingly. The current rating of the SSL-LX3044SRD-12V is 250mA at 12V, with a voltage drop of 2V.

In addition to its basic functionality, the SSL-LX3044SRD-12V can be enhanced with additional options, such as a dimmer, remote control and voltage monitors. The dimmer option allows the module to be dimmed and brightened by adjusting the output voltage. The remote control option permits the user to control the LED from a remote location. Voltage monitors can be connected to the module to detect power supply anomalies, such as voltage drops or surges.

The SSL-LX3044SRD-12V LED indication module is easy to install, intuitive to use, and an affordable way to get real-time visual feedback of the status of a system. Its discrete indication capability means that it requires less complex wiring than multi-color indicators, while its various additional features can give it added flexibility.
