The recommended operating temperature range for the HLMP-P156-EG011 is -40°C to 85°C.
The HLMP-P156-EG011 is a polarized component, and it's essential to observe the correct polarity when mounting it. The cathode (negative leg) is marked with a flat edge or a notch, and it should be connected to the negative voltage supply.
The maximum forward current rating for the HLMP-P156-EG011 is 20mA. Exceeding this rating may reduce the LED's lifespan or cause it to fail prematurely.
To calculate the resistor value, you need to know the supply voltage, the desired current, and the forward voltage drop of the LED. You can use Ohm's law and the LED's datasheet to calculate the resistor value. A general formula is R = (Vsupply - Vf) / I, where R is the resistor value, Vsupply is the supply voltage, Vf is the forward voltage drop, and I is the desired current.
The HLMP-P156-EG011 is not designed for outdoor use and may not withstand exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperatures. If you need an LED indicator for outdoor use, consider using a component with a higher environmental rating, such as IP67 or higher.
