NTE3000 Light Emitting Diode Miniature, Clear Red Description: The NTE3000 is a red diffused Gallium Arsenide phosphide diode in a two lead epoxy package with a clear lens. The NTE3000 is intended for high volume indicator light applications. Major usage is in applications such as diagnostic lights on printed circuit boards and panel lights. It can also be used to displace subminiature lamps as small as T3/4 size.
