Description
These devices are developed for the automotive industry
and other industries which use 12 V sources.
The TLR.540. series contains an integrated resistor for
current limiting in series with the LED chip. This allows
the lamp to be driven from a 12 V source without an exter-
nal current limiter.
Available colors are red, yellow and green. The luminous
intensity of such an LED is measured at constant voltage
of 12 V.
These tinted diffused lamps provide a wide off-axis view-
ing angle.
These LEDs are intended for space critical applications
such as automobile instrument panels, switches and oth-
ers which are driven from a 12 V source.
