Product Overview
Rectangular diffuse red through-hole LED with a 7mm x 2.35mm face. Designed for panel indicators, PCB status lights, and visual signal applications. Diffused lens spreads light evenly across the viewing angle. Thru-hole leads mount directly to standard PCB pads.
Key Features
- Rectangular face: 7mm x 2.35mm
- Color: Red, diffused lens
- Mounting: Through-hole (thru-hole DIP)
- Short leads - verify lead length fits your application before ordering
- Forward voltage (Vf): Not confirmed - verify against datasheet before use
- Forward current (If): Not confirmed - verify against datasheet before use
- Lead spacing: Not confirmed - verify fit against your PCB footprint before ordering
Applications
- Replacement indicator LED for vintage audio receivers and hi-fi equipment (Marantz, Pioneer SX series, silver-face era gear)
- Ham radio equipment panel indicators
- Vintage computing indicator replacement (Apple II, Commodore 64, IBM PC 5150/5160)
- Test and measurement equipment (HP/Agilent, Tektronix, Fluke, Keithley)
- Guitar amplifier and rack gear status lights (Marshall, Mesa/Boogie, Peavey, Fender)
- Industrial control panel indicators
- Homelab builds, Arduino and microcontroller projects, DIY status displays
- Custom panel mounts and maker projects needing a rectangular indicator profile
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a current-limiting resistor?
Yes. Like all standard indicator LEDs, this one requires a series current-limiting resistor to prevent damage from excessive current. Calculate the resistor value based on your supply voltage and the LED's forward voltage and current ratings - both of which are not confirmed for this exact part. Verify against a datasheet for the correct values before use.
What lead spacing does this LED have?
Lead spacing is not confirmed. The 2.54mm (0.1 inch) standard spacing is common for through-hole indicator LEDs of this type, but verify your PCB footprint before ordering.
Will this fit a standard rectangular LED panel cutout?
The face measures 7mm x 2.35mm. Match this against your panel cutout dimensions before ordering. Standard 2x5x7mm rectangular LED cutouts are the typical reference, but confirm your specific application.
Are multiple units available?
Yes, multiple units are available. These are NOS stock sourced from a distributor consolidating inventory.
Somewhere out there is a vintage receiver with a dead indicator light that makes the whole front panel look wrong. A part this specific - rectangular face, diffuse red, through-hole - is exactly what puts it right again.
