Product Overview
Built for space-constrained industrial operator stations, this AP series miniature indicator integrates a red LED with an internal current-limiting resistor and reverse polarity protection diode. It draws 11 mA at nominal operating voltage and fits standard miniature panel layouts. The round flat translucent lens delivers clear status signaling across automation interfaces, custom enclosures, and test stands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size mounting cutout does this indicator require?
It mounts directly into a standard 12 mm (0.472 inch) circular panel cutout using the included threaded retaining ring.
What terminals does this unit use for wiring?
The base features two combination tab terminals suitable for direct soldering or standard slip-on quick-connect receptacles.
Does this pilot light require an external dropping resistor?
No external resistor is needed for 24V DC operation. The internal circuit incorporates an integral current-limiting resistor calibrated for nominal 24V DC at 11 mA.
Does polarity matter during DC installation?
Yes. The housing features a molded TOP indicator and polarized terminal arrangement, backed by internal diode protection to protect the LED against accidental reverse voltage.
