Parameter sources: page 3 of the datasheet for each model. Test conditions are IF=20mA and ambient temperature 25°C. Voltage, wavelength/color temperature and luminous intensity are listed as minimum–maximum values. The 20° viewing angle is the value in the Avg column. The temperature field in each datasheet is labeled “Experiment temperature range” (-20–+80°C), not explicitly operating temperature, so the operating-temperature column is temporarily shown as “—”. Refer to manufacturer-confirmed documentation.
The image above is a series reference image containing other colors and general specifications; it does not represent the specific models on this page. Values such as the 120° viewing angle in the image differ from the datasheets for the 5 models on this page. Use the corresponding PDF for product selection. All 5 models list a viewing angle of 20° (Avg, IF=20mA).
This page presents 5×5.5mm bullet-head through-hole LEDs with a flanged clear lens and a two-lead structure, suitable for panel status indication, instrumentation and electronic product light displays. Blue, red, yellow, emerald-green and white emissions each correspond to separate models. When selecting a model, check its color, brightness, forward voltage and dimensional drawing together.
Q: What should I consider for installation and soldering?
A: Confirm PCB hole spacing, lead orientation and mounting height using the dimensional drawing for the corresponding model. Use current-limiting or constant-current drive, and follow the datasheet for soldering temperature and time. Do not substitute a series name for checking dimensions and specifications.

Forward Voltage and Wavelength Quick Reference by Color
Different emission colors in the same package have different forward voltages. Select the current-limiting resistor using the values for the chosen color and corresponding model:
| Emission Color | Wavelength Range | Forward Voltage | Chip Material |
|---|---|---|---|

Selection Recommendations
Red and yellow LEDs have different forward-voltage ranges from blue, emerald-green and white LEDs; match the drive and current-limiting conditions separately. The 20mA value is the table’s test condition. Determine actual operating current based on brightness, thermal management and datasheet limits. The white model has a color temperature of 8000–13500K; confirm the corresponding model separately if another color temperature is required.
