It is specifically designed for applications requiring exceptional brightness. The target markets and typical applications include consumer electronics displays, indicator lights, and backlighting systems for devices such as televisions, computer monitors, telephones, and other computing equipment.
2. In-depth Technical Parameter Analysis
This section provides a detailed and objective interpretation of the key electrical, optical, and thermal parameters of the device based on standard test conditions (Ta=25°C).
2.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings
Absolute maximum ratings define stress limits that may cause permanent damage to the device. These are not recommended operating conditions.
- Continuous Forward Current (IF):25 mA. Exceeding this current continuously will shorten the LED's lifespan and reduce light output.
- Peak Forward Current (IFP):60 mA. This is the maximum allowable pulse current, typically specified under conditions of 1 kHz frequency and a duty cycle of 1/10. It is crucial for applications involving brief, high-current pulses.
- Reverse Voltage (VR):5 V. Applying a reverse bias exceeding this value may cause immediate catastrophic failure of the LED junction.
- Power Dissipation (Pd):60 mW. This is the maximum power the package can dissipate without exceeding its maximum junction temperature, calculated as the forward voltage (VF) multiplied by the forward current (IF).
- Operating and Storage Temperature:The device's rated operating temperature is -40°C to +85°C, and the storage temperature is -40°C to +100°C. These ranges ensure the mechanical and chemical stability of the epoxy resin and semiconductor materials.
- Soldering Temperature (Tsol):260°C for 5 seconds. This defines the maximum thermal profile that the LED package can withstand during wave soldering or reflow soldering processes.
2.2 Electro-Optical Characteristics
These parameters define the performance of the device under normal operating conditions (IF=20mA). The "Typical" column represents the expected median value, while the "Min" and "Max" define the acceptable production distribution range.
- Luminous Intensity (Iv):40-80 mcd (typical 80 mcd). This is the perceived brightness of the LED measured in millicandelas. The wide range indicates a binning process; designers must consider the minimum value for worst-case brightness scenarios.
- Viewing angle (2θ1/2):30 degrees (typical). This is the full angle at which the luminous intensity drops to half of its peak (axial) value. A 30-degree angle indicates a relatively concentrated beam, suitable for directional indicator lights.
- Peak and Dominant Wavelength (λp, λd):They are 575 nm and 573 nm, respectively. The peak wavelength is the spectral point of maximum radiant power. The dominant wavelength is the perceived color point. The close values indicate a spectrally pure yellow-green emission.
- Spectral Radiant Bandwidth (Δλ):20 nm. This is the spectral width at half of the maximum intensity (full width at half maximum). A bandwidth of 20 nm is typical for AlGaInP-based LEDs, providing good color purity.
- Forward Voltage (VF):1.7V to 2.4V (Typical 2.0V). This is the voltage drop across the LED when driven at 20mA. If the supply voltage is fixed, the circuit design must use a current-limiting resistor or driver calculated for the maximum VF to ensure the current does not exceed the maximum rating.
- Reverse Current (IR):Maximum 10 μA at VR=5V. This is the leakage current when the device is reverse biased. For a healthy LED, this value is typically very low.
Measurement Tolerance:The datasheet specifies particular uncertainties: ±0.1V for VF, ±10% for Iv, and ±1.0nm for λd. These must be considered in precision design calculations.
3. Explanation of the Binning System
The provided data suggests a binning structure based on key performance parameters to ensure consistency in mass production. Although the complete binning matrix is not elaborated in detail, the following information can be inferred from the specification sheet and label descriptions:
- Luminous Intensity / Luminous Flux Binning:The Iv range of 40-80 mcd indicates that the devices are binned according to their measured output at 20mA. The "CAT" field on the packaging label likely denotes this grade or category.
- Wavelength/Color Binning:The "HUE" field on the label corresponds to the dominant wavelength (λd). Given the typical value of 573 nm, production lots are likely characterized and marked according to their specific dominant wavelength to maintain color consistency within applications.
- Forward Voltage Binning:The VF range of 1.7V to 2.4V indicates that LEDs may also be grouped based on their forward voltage characteristics. Matching VF in parallel circuits helps achieve uniform current distribution.
4. Performance Curve Analysis
Typical characteristic curves provide critical insights into device behavior under various conditions, which is essential for robust circuit and thermal design.
4.1 Relative Intensity vs. Wavelength
This curve graphically represents the spectral power distribution, showing a peak near 575 nm with a full width at half maximum of approximately 20 nm. It confirms the monochromatic nature of the light output, concentrated in the yellow-green region of the visible spectrum.
4.2 Directivity Pattern
The directivity (or radiation pattern) curve illustrates the spatial distribution of light. The provided 30-degree viewing angle originates from this pattern. The curve shape is typical of standard LED chips with hemispherical lenses, showing a near-Lambertian or slightly focused emission profile.
4.3 Forward Current vs. Forward Voltage (I-V Curve)
The curve shows the exponential relationship between current and voltage, which is a typical characteristic of diodes. The "knee" voltage is approximately 1.8V-2.0V. Beyond this point, a small increase in voltage leads to a large increase in current, highlighting the extreme importance of current regulation rather than voltage regulation when driving an LED.
4.4 Relative Intensity vs. Forward Current (L-I Curve)
This curve shows the relationship between drive current and light output. It is typically linear within the recommended operating range but saturates and eventually degrades at very high currents. Operating at a typical 20mA ensures a good balance of efficiency, brightness, and lifetime.
4.5 Thermal Characteristics
The following curves are crucial:Relative Intensity vs. Ambient TemperatureandForward Current vs. Ambient Temperature(at constant voltage). They indicate that the light output decreases with increasing ambient temperature due to reduced internal quantum efficiency and increased non-radiative recombination. Conversely, for a fixed applied voltage, the forward current increases with temperature because the diode's forward voltage has a negative temperature coefficient. If not properly managed with a constant current driver, this can lead to a potential thermal runaway situation.
5. Mechanical and Packaging Information5.1 Package Dimensions and Drawings
The datasheet contains detailed dimensional drawings. Key specifications derived from the drawings and notes include: all dimensions are in millimeters (mm), the flange height must be less than 1.5mm, and unless otherwise specified, the general tolerance is ±0.25mm. The drawings define pin pitch, body dimensions, and overall shape, which are crucial for PCB pad design (pad pattern).
5.2 Polarity Identification
Although not explicitly detailed in the provided text, standard LED beads typically identify the cathode (negative pin) through a flat edge on the lens, a shorter lead, or markings on the package. The PCB pad design must match this polarity to ensure correct orientation during assembly.
6. Soldering and Assembly Guide

6.4 Cleaning
- Clean only when necessary, using isopropyl alcohol at room temperature, for ≤1 minute. Air dry.
- Ultrasonic cleaning is strongly discouraged. If absolutely required, extensive pre-qualification testing must be conducted to determine safe power levels and duration, as ultrasonic energy may damage internal die attach or epoxy encapsulation.
6.5 Thermal Management
Effective thermal management is crucial for the performance and lifespan of LEDs. As indicated by the derating curves referenced in the datasheet, the current rating must be appropriately reduced at higher ambient temperatures. The design must ensure that the temperature around the LED body is controlled, typically achieved by using a PCB with sufficient thermal pads, thermal vias, or an external heatsink for high-power applications.
6.6 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection
These LEDs are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. ESD may cause latent damage or immediate failure. Always handle components in an ESD-protected area using grounded wrist straps and conductive mats. Use antistatic packaging and equipment during all assembly and handling processes.

Q3: Why does the light output dim when my device gets hot?
A: This is a fundamental characteristic of LEDs, as shown in the "Relative Intensity vs. Ambient Temperature" curve. The efficiency of the semiconductor material decreases as the junction temperature rises, producing less light at the same current. Improved thermal management in the design can mitigate this effect.
Q4: Can I use ultrasonic cleaning on the PCB after soldering these LEDs?
A: Strongly not recommended. The datasheet indicates that ultrasonic cleaning may damage the LED depending on power and assembly conditions. If it must be used, you need to conduct thorough pre-qualification testing. A safer alternative is to use isopropyl alcohol with gentle brushing or to use a no-clean flux that does not require post-solder cleaning.
11. Practical Design and Use Case Studies

- Result:The LED provides clear, bright indication, all five units have consistent color, and the product has passed reliability tests due to proper thermal and electrical design.
12. Brief Introduction to Working Principle
This LED operates based on the principle of electroluminescence in a semiconductor p-n junction. The chip material is AlGaInP. When a forward voltage exceeding the diode turn-on voltage (approximately 1.7-2.0V) is applied, electrons from the n-type region and holes from the p-type region are injected into the junction area. These carriers recombine in the active region of the semiconductor. A significant portion of this recombination is radiative, meaning they release energy in the form of photons (light). The specific wavelength of 573-575 nm (yellow-green) is determined by the bandgap energy of the AlGaInP alloy composition used in the chip's active layer. A green diffused epoxy package is used to protect the chip, act as the primary lens to shape the light output beam, and diffuse the light to produce a more uniform appearance.
13. Teknologi Trends and Background
This component represents the mature mainstream technology for monochromatic indicator LEDs. AlGaInP-based LEDs are the standard for efficient red, amber, and yellow-green emission. Current industry trends related to such devices include:
- Efficiency Improvement:Continuous research aims to improve the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and light extraction efficiency (LEE) of these materials, thereby achieving higher luminous intensity at the same input current or the same brightness at lower power.
- Miniaturization:Although this is a standard LED package, the broader trend is toward smaller surface-mount device (SMD) packages (e.g., 0402, 0201) to accommodate high-density PCB designs, albeit often at the expense of total light output and thermal management capability.
- Reliability Enhancement:Improvements in epoxy formulations, die attach materials, and wire bonding technology continue to drive the operational lifetime and temperature tolerance of LEDs.
- Smart Integration:A macro trend in the lighting field is the direct integration of control circuits (drivers, communication) into the LED package, creating "smart" components. While this specific part is a discrete, non-smart LED, understanding its fundamental parameters is the basis for working with more integrated solutions.
