- Peak Forward Current (IFP):100 mA. This is the maximum allowable instantaneous forward current, typically specified under pulse conditions (1/10 duty cycle, 0.1ms pulse width) to prevent overheating.
- DC Forward Current (IF):30 mA. This is the recommended maximum continuous forward current to ensure long-term reliable operation.
- Operating Temperature Range (Topr):-40°C to +85°C. The ambient temperature range over which the device is designed to operate.
- Storage temperature range (Tstg):-40°C to +100°C. Storage temperature range when the device is not powered.
2.2 Electrical/Optical Characteristics
These parameters are at standard ambient temperature (Ta) Measured at 25°C, defining the typical performance of the device.
- Luminous intensity (IV):400 - 1040 mcd (millicandela), tested under the condition of IF= 20mA. This parameter measures the brightness of the LED as perceived by the human eye, filtered through the CIE photopic response curve. The wide range indicates the use of a binning system.
- Viewing angle (2θ1/2):110 degrees (typical). This is the full angle at which the luminous intensity drops to half of its axial peak value. The 110° viewing angle provides a very wide light emission pattern.
- Peak emission wavelength (λP):466 nm (typical). The wavelength at which the optical output power reaches its maximum value.
- Dominant Wavelength (λd):466 - 476 nm, tested under the condition of IF= 20mA. This is the single wavelength that best represents the color of light perceived by the human eye, calculated based on the CIE chromaticity diagram.
- Spectral Line Half-Width (Δλ):35 nm (typical value). Spectral bandwidth measured at half maximum intensity (Full Width at Half Maximum - FWHM). The value of 35nm is typical for InGaN blue LEDs.
- Forward voltage (VF):2.4 - 3.3 V, test condition is IF= 20mA. The voltage drop when the LED operates at the specified current. This range indicates different voltage bins.

3. Bin System Description
To ensure production consistency, LEDs are sorted into different bins based on key parameters. This allows designers to select devices that meet specific requirements for color, brightness, and forward voltage.
3.1 Forward Voltage (VF) Binning

4. Performance Curve Analysis
The datasheet references typical performance curves, which are crucial for understanding the device's behavior under various conditions. Although the specific graphs are not reproduced in the text, their implications are analyzed as follows.
4.1 Forward Current vs. Forward Voltage (I-V Curve)
The I-V characteristic is nonlinear, which is typical for diodes. The forward voltage (VF) has a positive temperature coefficient, meaning it decreases slightly with increasing junction temperature at a given current. Designers must consider this when designing current-limiting circuits to ensure stable operation across the entire temperature range.
4.2 Luminous Intensity vs. Forward Current
Within the safe operating area, luminous intensity is typically proportional to the forward current. However, at extremely high currents, efficiency may decrease due to increased heat generation (efficiency droop effect). Operating at the recommended 20mA or below ensures optimal efficiency and lifespan.
4.3 Spectral Distribution
The spectral output curve is centered at a peak wavelength of 466nm, with a full width at half maximum of approximately 35nm. This defines the color purity of the blue. The dominant wavelength used for binning is calculated from this spectrum, weighted by human eye sensitivity.
4.4 Temperature Characteristics
LED performance is temperature-dependent. Luminous intensity typically decreases as the junction temperature increases. The operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and storage temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) ensure the maintenance of semiconductor material and package integrity.
5. Mechanical and Packaging Information
5.1 Package Dimensions

Unless otherwise specified, all dimensional tolerances are ±0.2mm. The anode and cathode terminals are clearly marked to ensure correct PCB orientation.
5.2 Recommended PCB Land Pattern
A land pattern (package outline) suitable for infrared or vapor phase reflow soldering is provided. Adhering to this recommended land layout is crucial for achieving reliable solder joints, proper self-alignment during reflow, and effective heat dissipation from the LED chip.
5.3 Carrier Tape and Reel Packaging

The standard reel quantity is 4000 pieces per reel, with a minimum packaging quantity of 500 pieces for remaining lots. The packaging complies with the ANSI/EIA-481 specification to ensure compatibility with automated assembly equipment.
6. Soldering and Assembly Guide
6.1 Infrared Reflow Soldering Profile
Provides a reflow profile that complies with the J-STD-020B lead-free process recommendations. Key parameters include:
- Preheat:Maximum 150-200°C.
- Preheat time:Maximum 120 seconds.
- Peak temperature:Maximum 260°C.
- Time above liquidus:Maximum 10 seconds (it is recommended to perform a maximum of two reflow cycles).
It must be noted that the optimal profile depends on the specific PCB design, solder paste, and oven. The provided profile is a general target based on JEDEC standards.
6.2 Manual Soldering
If manual soldering must be performed, extra caution is required due to the minute size. Recommendations include:
- Soldering iron temperature:Maximum 300°C.
- Soldering time:Maximum 3 seconds per solder joint.
- Heat the PCB pad, do not directly heat the LED body.
6.3 Cleaning
If post-soldering cleaning is required, only specified solvents should be used. It is acceptable to immerse the LED in ethanol or isopropyl alcohol at room temperature for no more than one minute. Unspecified chemicals may damage the epoxy lens or package.
6.4 Storage and Moisture Sensitivity
This LED is moisture sensitive (MSL Level 3).
- Sealed packaging:Store at ≤30°C and ≤70% relative humidity (RH). Use within one year after the packaging date.
- Opened packaging:Store at ≤30°C and ≤60% RH. It is recommended to complete infrared reflow soldering within 168 hours (7 days) after opening.
- Long-term storage (opened):Store in a sealed container with desiccant or in a nitrogen dry cabinet.
- 暴露时间 >168小时:LEDs must be baked at approximately 60°C for at least 48 hours before soldering to remove absorbed moisture and prevent the "popcorn" effect during reflow.
7. Application Recommendations
7.1 Typical Application Circuit
When driven by a voltage source higher than its forward voltage, this LED requires a current-limiting mechanism. The simplest method is to connect a resistor in series. The resistor value (Rs) can be calculated using Ohm's Law: Rs= (Vsupply- VF) / IF. For example, using a 5V power supply, VFis 3.0V (typical value), the desired IFIf it is 20mA, then Rs= (5V - 3.0V) / 0.020A = 100 Ω. The rated power of the resistor should be at least IF2* Rs.
。
- 7.2 Design ConsiderationsCurrent Drive:FAlways use a constant current source or a voltage source with a series resistor to drive the LED. Direct connection to a voltage source exceeding V
- will cause excessive current and rapid failure.Thermal Management:
- Although power consumption is low, ensuring sufficient PCB copper foil area around the pads helps with heat dissipation, especially under high ambient temperatures or when driven with higher current.ESD Protection:
- Although not explicitly stated as sensitive to static electricity, it is good practice to take appropriate ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions when handling all semiconductor devices.Optical Design:
The 110° wide viewing angle makes it suitable for applications requiring extensive visibility. For focused light, external lenses or light guide structures may be necessary.

9.4 How to interpret the bin code when ordering?
To ensure receiving LEDs with consistent performance, you should specify the binning codes for forward voltage (F4/F5/F6), luminous intensity (T2/U1/U2), and dominant wavelength (AC/AD) according to the design requirements. For example, an order might specify devices from bins F5, U1, AC to obtain medium voltage, medium-high brightness, and a bluish tint.
10. Practical Application CasesScenario: Designing a compact wearable device status indicator.FThe PCB space for this device is limited. A blue power indicator LED is required. The 0201 LED was chosen due to its extremely small package size. The design uses a 3.3V microcontroller GPIO pin to control the LED. The series resistor calculation uses the maximum VF(e.g., 3.3V max for the F6 range) to ensure sufficient current even under worst-case Vsconditions: RF= (3.3V - 3.3V) / 0.020A = 0 Ω. This is not feasible. Therefore, a lower VFrange (F4 or F5) must be selected, or the supply voltage must be increased. The F5 range (max Vs=3.0V) kuma ƙara ƙaramin maɓalli mai haɓakawa don samar da 3.6V, to R
