DESCRIPTION
This T-1 3/4 super bright LED has a moderate viewing angle of
20° for concentrated light output. It is made with an AllnGaP LED
that emits orange light at 620 nm. It is encapsulated in a water
clear epoxy lens package.
FEATURES
• Popular T-1 3/4 package
• Super high brightness suitable for outdoor
applications
• Solid state reliability
• Water clear optics
• Standard 100 mil. lead spacing
