NTE NTE3001

NTE3001
Light Emitting Diode
Miniature, Diffused Red
Description:
The NTE3001 is a diffused Gallium Arsenide Phosphide diode mounted in a two lead epoxy package
with a red diffused lens. On forward bias, this device emits a spectrally narrow band of visible light
which peaks at 660nm.
The NTE3001 is intended for high volume indicator light applications where low cost, high reliability,
and top performance are required. Major usage is in applications such as diagnostic lights on printed
circuit boards and panel lights. This device can be used to displace subminiature lamps as small as
T3/4 size.
