Additional Details:

The SC39-12GWA has a typical forward voltage of around 2.2V and a forward current of around 20mA. The luminous intensity is specified in millicandelas (mcd), indicating the brightness of the emitted light. The device is RoHS compliant, meaning it does not contain hazardous substances. The operating temperature range is typically from -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions. The viewing angle is typically around 110 degrees. The package is a standard DIP (Dual In-line Package) with ten pins. The light is produced by using Gallium Arsenide Phosphide on Gallium Phosphide light emitting diode technology.
