Key Features
- Single green diffused-lens LED providing wide-angle 6.0 mcd illumination ideal for panel status indicators
- 12 mA maximum forward current with built-in 5 V compatibility reducing external resistor requirements in direct-drive circuits
- Radial-mount through-hole package enabling simple hand or wave soldering in prototype and low-volume production builds
- RoHS-compliant (Pb-free) construction supporting lead-free assembly processes
Applications
The SSL-LX3044GD-5V is well-suited for power-on and status indicator applications in industrial control panels, consumer electronics, and laboratory test equipment where a standard green LED must be driven directly from a 5 V logic rail. Its diffused green lens distributes light evenly over a wide viewing angle, making it readable from multiple viewing positions on front-panel bezels. The through-hole radial form factor also suits rapid prototyping on solderless breadboards and through-hole PCB assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What forward current and luminous intensity does the SSL-LX3044GD-5V specify for normal panel indicator use?
The SSL-LX3044GD-5V has a maximum forward current of 12 mA and a nominal luminous intensity of 6.0 mcd at its rated operating current. For a typical 5 V supply, a series resistor of approximately 270 Ω limits current to around 10 mA, yielding brightness suitable for indoor panel indicators and status lights.
How does the diffused lens on the SSL-LX3044GD-5V compare to a clear lens for front-panel indicator designs?
A diffused lens scatters light to produce a wide, even viewing cone—typically 60° to 120° half-angle—compared to the narrow 15° to 30° beam of a clear lens. For front-panel indicators viewed from various angles by operators standing to the side, the SSL-LX3044GD-5V diffused green lens provides consistent visibility without requiring the viewer to stand directly in front of the LED.
What mounting style does the SSL-LX3044GD-5V use, and is it compatible with automated assembly?
The SSL-LX3044GD-5V uses a radial-mount through-hole package with two leads spaced 2.54 mm apart. While it can be hand-soldered in prototyping and low-volume builds, through-hole radial components are typically placed by selective soldering or wave solder machines in production, making it less suited for fully automated SMT pick-and-place lines compared to SMD LED alternatives.
For a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO-driven indicator, what resistor value should be used with the SSL-LX3044GD-5V?
Assuming a typical green LED forward voltage of 2.1 V and a desired drive current of 8 mA from a 3.3 V GPIO pin, the series resistor should be (3.3 V − 2.1 V) / 0.008 A = 150 Ω. A standard 150 Ω resistor keeps drive current well below the 12 mA maximum, ensuring safe long-term LED operation.
