From a 25 year old electronic device, the LED is about 2mm by 2mm and almost 3mm tall with the dome. The leads are straight out of the side. I tried looking for similar low profile LED and I keep finding the larger 5mmx5mm of similar design with 4 pins straight down rather than 2 leads to the sides. It is not SMD as it is not actually soldered in but taped to a plastic flex circuit.
Because it is not soldered in, regular SMD probably won't work in its place. I checked with a regular 3mm LED, it does not quite fit as it is too tall and I don't have the means of cutting the top of the LED while maintaining the dome top.
I used to see this quite often before SMD LEDs became common. And searching for low profile LED -smd gets me oh about 10,000 results, all for household lighting which won't work off a 2v DC rail (actually about 5v plus in line resistor) and are way too big. Is there a specific term I need to use beside low profile?
