Additional Details

The TLV817C LED typically operates with a forward voltage of approximately 1.8 to 3.6 volts, depending on the color and specific model. The forward current is generally in the range of 5 to 20 milliamperes. The luminous intensity and wavelength (color) are also critical parameters that vary depending on the specific part number suffix. The surface-mount package allows for automated assembly and soldering processes. It's crucial to consult the manufacturer's datasheet for detailed electrical and optical characteristics, as well as recommended operating conditions and soldering profiles. The product complies with RoHS standards, ensuring environmentally friendly manufacturing and material usage.

Proper current limiting resistors are required to prevent damage to the LED. Refer to the datasheet for the exact resistor value for a given supply voltage.
