MARL 3mm Right Angle PCB LED Indicator, Red, 35 mcd, 2 mA

The MARL 103-305-01 is a compact 3mm red LED designed for efficient and reliable panel indication. Featuring a right-angled through-hole PCB mount, it saves valuable board space and can simplify assembly, allowing for perpendicular mounting to the circuit board surface for optimal visibility in confined spaces.

This standard-intensity LED operates at a low forward current of just 2 mA, contributing to reduced overall power consumption for your device. It emits a diffused red light with a luminous intensity of 35 millicandelas (mcd), providing a clear, wide-angle signal. The diffused lens offers a broad 30° viewing angle, ensuring the indicator status can be seen from various positions, which is crucial for industrial control panels and equipment.

Constructed to meet rigorous industrial requirements, it offers outstanding long-term reliability. The housing material carries a UL94V-0 flammability rating, denoting high resistance to flame propagation and enhancing safety in electronic applications. The device is an ESD-sensitive component, so proper electrostatic discharge precautions should be taken during handling and installation.

A practical feature for identification during assembly is the use of the longer lead on non-cropped units to denote the anode, helping to prevent reverse polarity installation. The LED is clearly marked with polarity indications to further aid correct orientation on the PCB.

With its combination of space-saving design, low power draw, and robust construction, this LED is a dependable choice for adding clear visual status indicators to a wide range of electronic projects and commercial products.
