Product Overview
Rectangular red diffused light-emitting diode featuring a flat 7 mm by 2.35 mm emitting face for indicator panels and circuit board status arrays. Built with a two-pin radial through-hole footprint and a clear view of the internal leadframe for straightforward polarity identification.
Key Features
- Package style: Rectangular diffused light-emitting diode
- Emitting face dimensions: 7 mm x 2.35 mm
- Lens color: Red diffused epoxy
- Mounting type: 2-lead radial through-hole
- Internal construction: Visible leadframe with cathode anvil and anode post
Applications
- Restoring vintage audio receivers, cassette decks, and silver-face tuners where rectangular front-panel status lamps are required.
- Building custom Eurorack synthesizer modules and DIY guitar pedals requiring flush-mount level or clipping indicators.
- Assembling breadboard prototypes and custom PCB status arrays for hobby electronics and microcontroller projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lead orientation and polarity for this LED?
The polarity can be identified directly through the diffused red lens. The wider anvil element of the visible internal leadframe marks the cathode (negative lead), while the smaller post connects to the anode (positive lead).
Are these LEDs suited for flush front-panel cutouts?
Yes. The flat 7 mm by 2.35 mm rectangular face sits flush in matching rectangular panel cutouts, making them suitable for indicator bars and status displays.
How does the rectangular package fit standard PCB footprints?
The two leads exit the base in a radial arrangement designed for standard through-hole board insertion, fitting rectangular indicator footprints on vintage and custom circuit boards. Order more and each piece costs less - the price-break table on this page spells it out.
Nothing anchors a front panel quite like the warm, even glow of a rectangular red indicator. Plug it into your board, power up the rail, and watch the circuit speak for itself.
