2. Technical Parameters: In-Depth Objective Interpretation
A thorough understanding of the electrical and optical parameters is crucial for successful circuit design and reliable operation.

- Power Dissipation (Pd): 76 mW. This is the maximum amount of power the LED package can dissipate as heat.
- Peak Forward Current (IF(peak)): 100 mA. This current can only be applied under pulsed conditions with a 1/10 duty cycle and a pulse width of 0.1ms. Exceeding this in DC operation will cause damage.
- DC Forward Current (IF): 20 mA. This is the recommended continuous forward current for normal operation.
- Derating: The maximum allowable DC forward current decreases linearly above 50°C ambient temperature at a rate of 0.25 mA per °C. This is critical for thermal management.
- Reverse Voltage (VR): 5 V. Applying a reverse voltage higher than this can damage the LED junction. The datasheet explicitly notes that reverse voltage operation cannot be continuous.
- Operating Temperature Range: -20°C to +80°C. The device is guaranteed to function within this ambient temperature range.
- Storage Temperature Range: -30°C to +100°C.
- Soldering Conditions: The LED can withstand wave soldering at 260°C for 5 seconds, IR reflow at 260°C for 5 seconds, and vapor phase reflow at 215°C for 3 minutes.
2.2 Electrical & Optical Characteristics
These are the typical performance parameters measured at Ta=25°C and IF=20mA, unless otherwise stated.
- Luminous Intensity (IV): 28.0 to 180.0 mcd (millicandela). The wide range indicates the device is available in different brightness bins (see Section 3). Measurement is done with a filter approximating the CIE photopic eye-response curve.
- Viewing Angle (2θ1/2): 130 degrees. This is the full angle at which the luminous intensity is half of the intensity measured on the central axis (0°). A wide viewing angle is typical for LEDs with a water-clear, non-diffused lens.
- Peak Emission Wavelength (λP): 468 nm. This is the wavelength at which the spectral power distribution is at its maximum.
- Dominant Wavelength (λd): 465.0 to 475.0 nm. This is the single wavelength perceived by the human eye that defines the color of the light, derived from the CIE chromaticity diagram.
- Spectral Line Half-Width (Δλ): 25 nm. This indicates the spectral bandwidth; a smaller value would indicate a more monochromatic light source.
- Forward Voltage (VF): 2.80 to 3.80 V. The voltage drop across the LED when driven at 20mA. This parameter is also binned (see Section 3).
- Reverse Current (IR): 10 μA (max). The leakage current when a reverse voltage of 5V is applied.
3. Binning System Explanation
To ensure consistency in mass production, LEDs are sorted into bins based on key parameters. This allows designers to select parts that meet specific requirements for color and brightness uniformity in their application.
3.1 Forward Voltage Binning
LEDs are categorized by their forward voltage (VF) at 20mA. The bin codes (D7 to D11) represent voltage ranges with a tolerance of ±0.1V within each bin. For example, bin D8 includes LEDs with VF between 3.00V and 3.20V. Selecting LEDs from the same voltage bin can help achieve more uniform current sharing when multiple LEDs are connected in parallel.
3.2 Luminous Intensity Binning
This is a critical bin for brightness consistency. The bins (N, P, Q, R) define minimum and maximum luminous intensity values, each with a tolerance of ±15%. Bin N covers 28.0-45.0 mcd, while bin R covers the highest brightness range of 112.0-180.0 mcd. Using LEDs from the same intensity bin is essential for applications where uniform perceived brightness is important.
3.3 Dominant Wavelength Binning
This binning ensures color consistency. The two bins, AC (465.0-470.0 nm) and AD (470.0-475.0 nm), have a tight tolerance of ±1 nm. Bin AC represents a slightly shorter, more pure blue, while bin AD is a slightly longer, slightly greenish-blue. Consistent wavelength selection is key for color-critical indicator applications or when mixing colors.
4. Performance Curve Analysis
While the datasheet references typical characteristic curves, the provided data allows for analysis of performance trends.
4.1 Forward Current vs. Forward Voltage (I-V Curve)
Based on the specified VF range of 2.8-3.8V at 20mA, the LED exhibits a characteristic exponential I-V curve typical of a diode. The forward voltage has a negative temperature coefficient, meaning it decreases slightly as the junction temperature increases for a given current.
4.2 Luminous Intensity vs. Forward Current
The luminous intensity is approximately proportional to the forward current in the normal operating range (up to 20mA). However, efficiency may drop at very high currents due to increased junction temperature and other non-linear effects. The derating specification above 50°C is directly related to managing this thermal effect to maintain light output and longevity.
4.3 Spectral Distribution
With a peak wavelength of 468 nm and a dominant wavelength range of 465-475 nm, the LED emits in the blue region of the visible spectrum. The spectral half-width of 25 nm indicates a relatively narrow emission band, which is characteristic of InGaN-based blue LEDs.
5. Mechanical & Package Information
5.1 Package Dimensions
The LED uses the industry-standard 0603 package footprint, which nominally measures 1.6mm in length, 0.8mm in width, and 0.6mm in height. All dimensional tolerances are ±0.10mm unless otherwise specified. The package has a water-clear epoxy lens.

8. Application Suggestions and Design Considerations
8.1 Drive Circuit Design
LEDs are current-operated devices. The most reliable method to drive multiple LEDs is to use a series current-limiting resistor for each LED (Circuit Model A in the datasheet). This ensures uniform brightness despite variations in the forward voltage (VF) of individual LEDs. Connecting multiple LEDs directly in parallel without individual resistors (Circuit Model B) is not recommended, as small differences in VF can cause significant current imbalance, leading to uneven brightness and potential over-current in the LED with the lowest VF.

11. Zane mai Amfani da Shari'ar Amfani
Scenario: Zana allon nuna matsayi tare da LEDs shuɗi 10.
1. Brightness Requirement: Decide on the required brightness. For a high-ambient-light environment, select bin Q or R (71-180 mcd). For a dim environment, bin N or P may suffice.
2. Color Consistency: Specify a single Dominant Wavelength bin (e.g., AC) to ensure all indicators are the same shade of blue.
3. Circuit Design: Use a 5V supply. Calculate the series resistor for each LED: R = (Vsupply - VF) / IF. Using the worst-case VF from your selected voltage bin (e.g., D9 max of 3.4V), R = (5V - 3.4V) / 0.020A = 80 Ohms. Use the nearest standard value (82 Ohms). This ensures no LED exceeds 20mA even if its VF is at the low end of the bin.
4. Layout: Follow the suggested pad layout from the datasheet for reliable soldering.
5. Assembly: Follow the recommended Pb-free reflow profile if applicable. Store opened reels in a dry cabinet if not used immediately.
12. Operating Principle Introduction
This LED is based on a semiconductor heterostructure made of Indium Gallium Nitride (InGaN). When a forward voltage is applied, electrons and holes are injected into the active region where they recombine. This recombination process releases energy in the form of photons (light). The specific composition of the InGaN alloy determines the bandgap energy, which directly corresponds to the wavelength (color) of the emitted light. For blue emission, a material with a relatively wide bandgap (~2.7 eV) is required. The water-clear epoxy lens serves to protect the semiconductor die and shape the light output, resulting in the wide viewing angle.
13. Technology Trends and Developments
The development of efficient blue LEDs based on InGaN was a foundational achievement in solid-state lighting, enabling the creation of white LEDs (via phosphor conversion) and full-color displays. Current trends in SMD LEDs like this 0603 type continue to focus on increasing luminous efficacy (more light output per electrical watt), improving color rendering and consistency, and enhancing reliability under higher temperature operating conditions. There is also ongoing development in miniaturization beyond the 0603 size (e.g., 0402, 0201 packages) for ultra-compact devices, as well as integration of control electronics within the LED package itself for "smart" lighting solutions. The drive for higher efficiency and lower cost per lumen remains a central theme in the industry.
