LTST-S220KRKT Red Right-Angle Side-View Surface Mount LED (2V, 20mA, 0805)

Direct status illumination to the edge of your enclosure with the LTST-S220KRKT right-angle side-view SMD LED from Lite-On. Standard top-emitting LEDs project light straight up from the PCB, which often requires vertical light pipes to reach front panels. The LTST-S220KRKT features a specialized right-angle side-emitting orientation, directing light horizontally parallel to the board. This allows you to mount the LED directly along the PCB edge to shine straight out through panel cutouts, lightguides, or enclosure seams.

Operating at a standard forward current of 20mA with a typical forward voltage of 2.0V ($V_F$), it emits a bright Super Red color from its high-efficiency AlInGaP chip. Housed in a compact side-emitting 0805 footprint (3.2 x 1.0 x 1.5 mm), it is the ideal component for custom enclosure indicators, edge-lit PCB interfaces, network router faceplates, and compact IoT devices where panel-side status signaling is required.

Key Features:

• Right-Angle Side-View Emitter: Casts light horizontally parallel to the PCB, eliminating the need for vertical light pipes for panel indicators.

• Vivid Super Red Illumination: High-efficiency AlInGaP technology delivers bright, high-contrast red status indication.

• Standard 20mA Driving Current: Fully compatible with standard microcontroller GPIO outputs using series current-limiting resistors.

• Edge-Mount Friendly Footprint: Compact side-emitting SMD package designed specifically for placement along board edges.
