2.1 Iyakoki na Lantarki da Zafi
DC Forward Current (IF):The maximum continuous DC current is 350 mA. Exceeding this limit risks overheating and accelerated aging.
Peak Pulse Current (IPulse):For pulsed operation, a peak current of 1500 mA is allowed under specific conditions: a pulse width of 400ms on and 3600ms off. For shorter pulses, the datasheet specifies a maximum duration of 50ms for the peak pulse current and a maximum duty cycle of 10%. This is particularly relevant for flash applications.
Power Dissipation (Pd):In pulse mode, the maximum allowable power dissipation is 6.5 watts. This rating is closely related to thermal management.
Junction Temperature (TJ):The maximum allowable temperature for a semiconductor junction is 125°C. When approaching or exceeding this temperature, the device's lifespan and performance will significantly degrade.
Thermal Resistance (Rθ):The thermal resistance from junction to lead is specified as 10 °C/W. This parameter is crucial for calculating the junction temperature rise based on power dissipation (Pd= VF* IF). Effective heat dissipation measures are required to keep TJwithin a safe range, especially at higher currents.
Operating and Storage Temperature:The device can operate at ambient temperatures from -40°C to +85°C and can be stored at temperatures from -40°C to +110°C.
Soldering:LED can withstand a maximum soldering temperature of 260°C and up to 2 reflow cycles, which is standard for SMD components.

Lambertian radiation pattern and 120-degree viewing angle make it suitable for applications requiring wide illumination. For focused beams (e.g., flashlights), secondary optical elements (lenses or reflectors) are required. In precise optical alignment, the offset of the optical center relative to the package's geometric center must be considered.
10. Comparison and Selection Guide
When selecting this LED, its key parameters should be compared with application requirements:
- Luminous Flux and Efficiency:160 lumens at 1A and an efficiency of 45 lm/W were competitive for its package size and the era of its datasheet release. Newer LEDs may offer higher luminous efficacy.
- Color Temperature:A typical CCT of 5700K is standard cool white. Offering bins from 4500K to 7000K provides flexibility.
- Package Size:The compact footprint of 2.04x1.64mm is suitable for space-constrained designs such as mobile phones.
- Drive Current:Its performance is characterized at 1000mA, a common drive current for high-power flash LEDs. The ability to handle 1500mA pulses is its key advantage over LEDs only suitable for lower currents in flash applications.
- Thermal Performance:A junction-to-pin thermal resistance of 10 °C/W requires careful thermal design. Compare this value with alternatives; a lower number indicates better heat dissipation capability of the package.
11. Frequently Asked Questions (Based on Technical Parameters)
Q: Can I drive this LED with a 3.3V power supply?
A: This depends on the forward voltage bin of your specific LED and the required current. For a 1000mA drive, VFranges from 2.95V to 4.35V. A 3.3V power supply is only suitable for LEDs with a lower VFbin (e.g., 2932) and requires a constant current driver with a very low dropout voltage. Using a higher voltage power supply (e.g., 5V) with a current regulator is more reliable.
Q: How can I achieve the nominal 160 lumens in my application?
A: You must drive the LED at 1000mA DC or an equivalent pulsed current while maintaining the pad temperature at or near 25°C. In practical applications, due to higher ambient temperature and limited heat dissipation, light output will be reduced due to thermal derating and efficiency drop.
Q: What is the difference between the 1000mA and 1500mA test conditions?
A: The 1000mA condition is used to characterize typical performance (luminous flux, VF, CCT). The 1500mA rating is suitable for short-duration pulses (up to 50ms, 10% duty cycle), which is typical for camera flash operation. Reliability testing is done differently: the 1500mA test uses an MCPCB for better cooling, while the 1000mA test uses FR4.

2. Thermal Management:The LED should be mounted on a dedicated thermal pad on the PCB, connected to an internal ground plane or metal mid-frame for heat dissipation. The flash duty cycle must be limited by software to prevent overheating.
3. Optics:Place a plastic lens or light guide plate above the LED to diffuse the light and reduce hotspots, aligning the offset optical center with the lens axis.
12.2 Portable Video Light
Yanayi:A constant fill light for digital video cameras.
Ai:
1. Da'irar tuƙi:Use a constant current driver set to 350mA (maximum DC rating) or lower to prioritize efficiency and lifespan. A simple linear regulator or switching converter can be used.
2. Thermal Management:A small aluminum heat sink should be connected to the PCB area behind the LED. The housing must allow for some air circulation.
3. Optics:Use a shallow reflector or frosted lens to produce a wide, uniform flood beam suitable for video lighting.
13. Technical Principles
The EHP-C04 is a phosphor-converted white LED. Its fundamental principle involves a semiconductor chip made of indium gallium nitride (InGaN) that emits blue light (electroluminescence) when current passes through. Part of the blue light is absorbed by a cerium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG:Ce) phosphor layer coated on the chip. The phosphor down-converts some of the blue light photons to longer wavelengths, primarily in the yellow region. The mixture of the remaining blue light and the emitted yellow light is perceived by the human eye as white light. The exact ratio of blue to yellow emission is controlled by the phosphor composition and thickness, determining the correlated color temperature (CCT). The compact package integrates the chip, phosphor, and a primary silicone lens that shapes the initial radiation pattern.
14. Industry Background and Trends
This datasheet, dated 2015, represents a generation of mature high-power white LEDs. At that time, its efficiency of 45 lumens per watt at a 1A drive current was competitive within its package category. Since then, key industry trends that designers should consider when evaluating this component for new designs include:
