The dominant wavelength is binned to control color purity. A range is specified for each color:
- Red:620-625 nm, 625-630 nm, 630-635 nm.
- Yellow:585-590 nm, 590-595 nm, 595-600 nm.
- Blue:455-460 nm, 460-465 nm, 465-470 nm.
- Green:520-525 nm, 525-530 nm, 530-535 nm.

4.4 Part Number Coding System
The part number structure (e.g., T20**011F-*****) encodes specific attributes, enabling precise identification and ordering. Key elements include the type code (20 representing the 2016 package), color temperature/color code, color rendering index (for white light), number of series/parallel chips, and a color code defining performance standards (e.g., F for ERP standard, M for ANSI standard).
5. Performance Curve Analysis
The datasheet references two key graphical representations of performance.
5.1 Spectrogram
Figure 1. Spectral Diagram:This diagram typically shows the relationship between the relative radiant power and wavelength for each LED color (red, yellow, blue, green) at Tj=25°C. It visually defines the spectral purity and peak wavelength, which are directly related to the perceived color. A narrow spectrum indicates high color saturation, which is typical for monochromatic LEDs.
5.2 Viewing Angle Distribution Diagram
Figure 2. Viewing Angle Distribution Diagram:This polar plot illustrates the spatial radiation pattern of an LED. For a top-view LED with a 120-degree wide viewing angle, the curve will show a broad, Lambertian-like distribution, where the intensity is highest at 0 degrees (perpendicular to the LED surface) and smoothly decreases towards the edges. This pattern is crucial for designing optical components and understanding illumination uniformity.
6. Mechanical and Packaging Information

9. Application Design Considerations
9.1 LED Driver
LED is a current-driven device. It is strongly recommended to use a constant current source rather than a constant voltage source to ensure stable light output and prevent thermal runaway. The driver should be designed to provide the required operating current (e.g., rated at 40mA) while staying within the absolute maximum ratings. Forward voltage binning information is useful for calculating the voltage headroom required for the driver.
9.2 Thermal Management
Despite the enhanced thermal performance package, effective heat dissipation remains crucial for performance and longevity. The PCB layout should use sufficient copper area (thermal pads) connected to the LED pads to conduct heat away from the junction. Operating at or near the maximum rated current generates more heat, requiring more aggressive thermal design to keep the junction temperature (Tj) well below its 110°C maximum limit.
9.3 Optical Integration
120-degree wide viewing angle makes these LEDs suitable for applications requiring broad, diffuse illumination without secondary optics. For focused beams, primary optics (lenses) or reflectors are necessary. The small light source size of the 2016 package is advantageous for optical control.
10. Technical Comparison and Differentiation
- In the field of monochrome SMD LEDs, the T20/2016 series positions itself with the following specific advantages:Comparison with smaller packages (e.g., 0603, 0402):
- Due to its larger size, it provides significantly higher light output and better thermal performance, making it suitable for higher-power general lighting tasks, not just indicator functions.Comparison with larger packages (e.g., 5050, 7070):
- Offers a more compact footprint for space-constrained designs while still providing considerable luminous flux, achieving a balance between size and performance.Thermal Management Enhancement:
- Explicitly mentions that enhanced thermal management packaging design is a key differentiator from many standard LED packages, implying better reliability under continuous operation.Comprehensive Binning:
Detailed binning for luminous flux, wavelength, and voltage provides designers with the tools needed for high-consistency applications, a level of strict definition not found in all LED series.

11.3 How to interpret the part number to order the correct LED?
You must refer to the part number coding system table. You need to define each placeholder (X1 to X10) according to your requirements: package type (20 represents 2016), desired color/wavelength, desired luminous flux bin, voltage bin, and specific color code (e.g., F represents ERP standard). Please provide the fully constructed part number to your supplier for precise ordering.
11.4 Me yasa ba a ba da shawarar yin reflow na biyu bayan fiye da awa 24 ba?
This may be related to moisture sensitivity. SMD packages absorb moisture from the atmosphere. During rapid reflow soldering, this trapped moisture can vaporize and cause internal delamination or cracking (the "popcorn" effect). If a device is not soldered within a specific time window after removal from its moisture barrier bag, or if it is exposed for too long, it may need to be baked to remove moisture before a second reflow. This precaution simplifies the process by recommending complete avoidance of this practice unless specific handling procedures are followed.

13. Introduction to Working Principles
The Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current passes through it. This phenomenon is called electroluminescence. In monochromatic LEDs like the T20 series, a semiconductor chip (typically made from materials such as AlInGaP (for red/yellow) or InGaN (for blue/green)) is encapsulated inside. When a forward voltage exceeding the chip's bandgap voltage is applied, electrons and holes recombine in the semiconductor's active region, releasing energy in the form of photons (light). The specific material composition and structure of the semiconductor determine the wavelength (color) of the emitted light. The package serves to protect the chip, provide electrical connections, and may contain phosphors (for white LEDs) or a transparent dome/lens to shape the light output. The design of the 2016 package focuses on efficiently extracting this light and managing the heat generated by non-radiative recombination and electrical resistance.

- With increasing power density, advanced packaging materials (e.g., ceramic substrates, high thermal conductivity molding compounds) are being adopted to better manage junction temperature, a primary factor affecting LED lifespan.Standardization and Binning:
- The industry is trending towards more precise and standardized binning systems, providing designers with predictable performance, which is crucial for applications requiring color and brightness consistency across thousands of units.Smart and Integrated LEDs:
