Bi-color - The color is changed by reversing the polarity of the supply voltage.
Tri-color - The indicator has red and green LEDs, when both connected yellow is produced.

• The operating voltage must not be exceeded by more that
10% as this will result in reduced life expectancy
• Luminous intensity is measured at 20 mA on a discrete led
unless otherwise stated.
• Luminous intensities and color shades of white LEDs may
vary within a batch.
• Luminous intensity will be reduced with lower operating
current.

ABOUT THIS SERIES
Notice:
please note that not all combinations of above numbers are available.
• Gold solder lug/Faston terminal denotes Anode (+), silver terminal denotes Cathode (-)
• Standard wire length is 200mm, QS6 & QS8 24 AWG UL1061, QS10 & QS12 22 AWG UL1061, red wire denotes Anode (+), black wire
denotes Cathode (-) for other wire lengths consult APEM
• For LEDs with alternate voltages and multi-voltage options consult APEM.
• Bi-color LEDs, by connecting the gold Faston (+) one color is produced, by reversing the supply voltage another color is produced.
Bi-color are available up to 28 VDC.
• Take care when soldering (recommended solder temperature 270 °C - 2 sec).
• The Tri-color LED has red and green LEDs when both are connected yellow is produced.
• We recommend using high brightness LEDs for use at 220 VAC
• 6 mm not available in 110 VAC or 220 VAC
