The **MA6L1TAA-R** is a specific part number belonging to the **MA series** of **LED Indicator Lamps**, typically manufactured by companies like **IDEC**. These components are widely used in industrial control panels for visual signaling and status monitoring. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary electronic and physical characteristics for this part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | LED Indicator Light (Pilot Light) | | **Shape** | Round (L-Series) | | **Mounting Hole Size** | 6mm (Miniature series) | | **Operating Voltage** | Typically 24V DC (Standard for TAA suffix) | | **Illumination Color** | Amber / Orange | | **Termination Style** | Solder Terminal | | **Degree of Protection** | IP65 (Water/Dust resistant) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number Industrial components often use "smart" part numbers where each character represents a specific attribute: * **MA**: Refers to the series (Miniature 6mm series). * **6L**: Indicates the size and style (6mm diameter, LED type). * **1**: Usually represents the lens shape (Round). * **T**: Indicates the terminal type (Solder/Tab). * **AA**: Often denotes the color and voltage configuration (Amber color, 24V). * **R**: Generally indicates compliance or a specific revision/packaging (e.g., RoHS compliant). --- ### 3. Key Electronic Features * **Built-in Current Limiting Resistor:** Unlike standalone LEDs, this unit is designed to be connected directly to its rated voltage (e.g., 24V) without needing external resistors. * **Polarity Sensitivity:** Since it uses an LED, the terminals are polarized. Correct connection of the positive and negative leads is required for operation. * **Low Power Consumption:** Compared to traditional incandescent pilot lights, these draw very little current (typically <20mA), reducing the load on the power supply. * **Longevity:** Rated for thousands of hours of continuous operation, making them ideal for "Always On" status indicators. --- ### 4. Typical Applications 1. **Status Indication:** Used on compact control interfaces to show if a machine is "On," "In Standby," or "Faulted." 2. **Instrumentation:** Integration into medical or scientific testing equipment where space is limited. 3. **Circuit Boards:** Mounted on panels to provide diagnostic feedback for internal power rails.
