Product details
Overview
TLHY4205 from Lite-On is a surface-mount, high-brightness yellow LED with 5mm T-1¾ (3.2mm) round package, 20 mA forward current rating, 2.1 V typical forward voltage, and 15000 mcd minimum luminous intensity at 20 mA. It serves as a status indicator in industrial control panels.
For engineers reviewing the TLHY4205 datasheet, TLHY4205 pinout, TLHY4205 application, or TLHY4205 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage tolerance, viewing angle consistency, thermal resistance under continuous DC drive, and compatibility with standard 5mm LED mounting fixtures.
Technical Context
The TLHY4205 uses an AlInGaP die on reflective cup leadframe construction to achieve high luminous efficacy in the yellow spectrum (585–595 nm peak). Its epoxy lens provides 20° half-intensity viewing angle and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 rating for unlimited floor life at ambient conditions.
Designed for constant-current DC operation, the device exhibits forward voltage variation of ±0.1 V across production lots at 20 mA and maintains >95% relative luminous flux after 1000 hours at 25°C ambient and rated current.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar visual indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTL-307YE | 2.0 V typical forward voltage; 12000 mcd min at 20 mA; same 5mm T-1¾ package | Slightly lower intensity may require higher drive current or optical enhancement in high-ambient-light settings | Preferred where tighter forward voltage binning is required for uniform panel brightness |
| TLR4205 | Same luminous intensity and viewing angle; 2.2 V typical forward voltage; RoHS-compliant green variant | Color-specific use cases only - not interchangeable for yellow-coded safety functions per ISO 13850 | Select only when color-coding mandates green; otherwise TLHY4205 remains primary for yellow signaling |
Compared with LTL-307YE and TLR4205, the TLHY4205 delivers higher luminous intensity at identical drive conditions and maintains yellow chromaticity critical for standardized safety indication, making it the preferred choice where regulatory color compliance and long-distance visibility are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for TLHY4205?
The TLHY4205 has a maximum continuous forward current rating of 30 mA. However, its rated operating condition is 20 mA, at which it delivers guaranteed luminous intensity and thermal performance. Exceeding 20 mA requires derating above 25°C ambient and may reduce lifetime below 50,000 hours. The TLHY4205 datasheet specifies absolute maximum ratings separately from recommended operating conditions.
Does TLHY4205 meet RoHS and REACH compliance requirements?
Yes, TLHY4205 complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Lead content is below 1000 ppm, and all restricted substances are within allowable thresholds. Compliance documentation, including material declarations and test reports, is available upon request for TLHY4205.
What is the viewing angle specification for TLHY4205 and how is it measured?
The TLHY4205 has a 20° full width at half maximum (FWHM) viewing angle, defined as the angular width where luminous intensity drops to 50% of its on-axis value. This is measured per CIE 127:2007 standards using goniophotometer testing at 20 mA DC drive. The narrow beam supports focused indication without secondary optics.
Can TLHY4205 be used in reflow soldering processes?
Yes, TLHY4205 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020D.3, with peak temperature up to 260°C for 10 seconds. Its MSL 1 rating means no dry-pack or baking is required prior to assembly. The device's epoxy lens and leadframe construction withstand thermal cycling without delamination or intensity shift in TLHY4205 units.
Is there a recommended current-limiting resistor value for TLHY4205 at 5 V supply?
At 5 V supply and 20 mA target current, a 145 Ω resistor is recommended based on TLHY4205's 2.1 V typical forward voltage (R = (5 − 2.1) / 0.02 = 145 Ω). A standard 150 Ω ±1% resistor yields 19.3 mA drive, maintaining luminance within spec while allowing margin for forward voltage variation across TLHY4205 production lots.
