LTST-C170YKT 0805 Yellow SMD LED
Overview
The LTST-C170YKT is a Lite-On surface-mount indicator LED in the 0805 (2012 metric) footprint that emits yellow light. It is intended for PCB-mounted visual indication and status signaling where a compact, low-profile indicator is required. The part is part of Lite-On's LTST-C170 family and is suitable for automated assembly.
Why Choose This Part
The 0805 footprint balances compact size and adequate brightness for indicator use while remaining easy to place with common pick-and-place equipment. As a standard SMD LED from a major manufacturer, it is widely available and compatible with standard reflow assembly processes. Choosing a color-matched part from the same LTST-C170 family simplifies BOM management and visual consistency across the product.
Applications
Getting Started
Refer to the Lite-On datasheet for recommended land pattern and soldering profile before laying out the PCB. Use a suitable current-limiting resistor sized for your target forward current and brightness; verify polarity on the footprint (anode/cathode) when placing parts. This part is assembled using standard surface-mount processes (pick-and-place and reflow).
