The datasheet provides several characteristic curves essential for design.
4.1 Forward Current vs. Forward Voltage (I-V Curve)

4.2 Relative Luminous Intensity vs. Forward Current
The light output increases with current but may not be perfectly linear, especially at higher currents. Operating near the maximum rating may offer diminishing returns and increase thermal stress.
4.3 Relative Luminous Intensity vs. Ambient Temperature
LED efficiency decreases as junction temperature rises. This curve typically shows output dropping as ambient temperature increases from -40°C to +85°C. Proper thermal management on the PCB is crucial for maintaining consistent brightness.
4.4 Forward Current Derating Curve
This graph specifies the maximum allowable forward current as a function of ambient temperature. As temperature rises, the maximum safe current decreases to prevent exceeding the power dissipation limit and causing thermal runaway.

6. Soldering and Assembly Guidelines
6.1 Reflow Soldering Profile (Pb-free)
A critical process for reliable assembly.
- Pre-heating: 150-200°C for 60-120 seconds.
- Time Above Liquidus (217°C): 60-150 seconds.
- Peak Temperature: 260°C maximum, held for 10 seconds maximum.
- Heating Rate: 6°C/sec maximum.
- Time Above 255°C: 30 seconds maximum.
- Cooling Rate: 3°C/sec maximum.
Important: Reflow soldering should not be performed more than two times. Avoid mechanical stress on the LED during heating and do not warp the PCB after soldering.
6.2 Hand Soldering
Idan gyaran hannu ya zama dole:
- Use a soldering iron with a tip temperature < 350°C.
- Apply heat to each terminal for < 3 seconds.
- Use an iron with a power rating < 25W.
- Allow > 2 seconds between soldering each terminal to prevent overheating.
- Exercise extreme caution as damage is most likely during hand soldering.
6.3 Storage and Moisture Sensitivity
The components are packaged in a moisture-resistant bag.
- Do not open the moisture-proof bag until ready for use.
- After opening, unused LEDs must be stored at ≤30°C and ≤60% Relative Humidity.
- The "floor life" after opening is 168 hours (7 days).
- If the floor life is exceeded or the desiccant indicator has changed color, a bake-out is required: 60 ±5°C for 24 hours before reflow.

- REF: Forward Voltage Rank (e.g., 1Q2L, related to voltage bin)
- LOT No: Traceability Lot Number
8. Application Notes and Design Considerations
8.1 Current Limiting is Mandatory
LEDs are current-driven devices. An external current-limiting resistor or constant-current driver MUST be used in series. The steep I-V curve means a small voltage change causes a large current change, which can instantly destroy the LED ("burn out"). The resistor value is calculated using Ohm's Law: R = (Vsupply - VF) / IF, where VF is the forward voltage from the appropriate bin.
8.2 Thermal Management
While the power is low (60mW max), the LED's performance and lifetime are temperature-dependent. Ensure the PCB provides adequate thermal relief, especially if multiple LEDs are used or if the ambient temperature is high. Refer to the derating curve.
8.3 ESD Precautions
With an ESD HBM rating of 2000V, this device has moderate sensitivity. Handle with ESD-safe procedures (wrist straps, grounded workstations, conductive foam) during assembly and repair.
9. Technical Comparison and Differentiation
The 19-213 LED, based on AlGaInP technology, offers distinct advantages for yellow emission:
- vs. Traditional Yellow LEDs (e.g., GaAsP): AlGaInP provides higher luminous efficiency and better color saturation (more brilliant, pure yellow), resulting in brighter output at the same current.
- vs. Phosphor-Converted White/Yellow LEDs: As a direct semiconductor emitter, it has no phosphor degradation over time, offering potentially better long-term color stability. It also has a narrower spectrum, which is desirable for specific color-filtered applications.
- vs. Larger Leaded LEDs: The SMD package enables automated assembly, higher board density, and reduced parasitic inductance, which is beneficial for high-speed switching applications.

10.2 Shin zan iya kunna wannan LED ba tare da resistor ta amfani da wutar lantarki mai tsayayyen ƙarfi ba?
No. This will almost certainly destroy the LED. The forward voltage has tolerance and varies with temperature. A constant-voltage source set to the typical VF (e.g., 2.0V) may deliver excessive current if the actual VF of the LED is lower.
10.3 Me ya sa tsarin ajiya da gasa yake da mahimmanci haka?
SMD packages can absorb moisture from the air. During the high-temperature reflow soldering process, this trapped moisture can vaporize rapidly, causing internal delamination or "popcorning" that cracks the package. The moisture-resistant bag and baking procedures prevent this failure mode.
10.4 What does the "Y2C" in the part number signify?
This is a manufacturer-specific code that encapsulates the binning information for luminous intensity (CAT), dominant wavelength (HUE), and forward voltage (REF), allowing precise selection of performance characteristics.
11. Design and Usage Case Study
11.1 Low-Power Status Indicator Panel
Scenario: Designing a compact control panel with 20 yellow status indicators.
Design Choices:
- Driver Circuit: A single 5V rail is available. Using a series resistor for each LED is chosen for simplicity and cost. For bin Q2 (90-112 mcd) and voltage bin 21 (1.9-2.0V), a 150-ohm resistor is selected per LED, providing ~20mA current and bright, consistent indication.
- PCB Layout: The 2.0x1.25mm footprint allows tight spacing. A small thermal relief connection to a ground plane helps dissipate the modest 40mW per LED (2V * 20mA).
- Process: Components are ordered on 8mm tape for automated pick-and-place. The full reel is used within one shift after opening to avoid moisture sensitivity issues.
- Result: A reliable, high-density indicator array with uniform color and brightness, enabled by the small size and consistent binning of the 19-213 LED.
12. Operating Principle
The 19-213 LED is a semiconductor photonic device. It is fabricated using Aluminum Gallium Indium Phosphide (AlGaInP) epitaxial layers grown on a substrate. When a forward voltage exceeding the material's bandgap energy (approximately 1.7-2.3V) 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 AlGaInP alloy determines the bandgap energy, which directly corresponds to the wavelength of the emitted light—in this case, brilliant yellow (~591 nm). The water-clear resin encapsulation protects the semiconductor die and acts as a lens, shaping the 120-degree radiation pattern.
13. Technology Trends
Surface-mount LEDs like the 19-213 represent the standard for modern electronic assembly due to their compatibility with automated manufacturing. Trends in this sector include:
- Increased Efficiency: Ongoing material science improvements aim to produce higher luminous efficacy (more light output per electrical watt) from AlGaInP and other compound semiconductors.
- Miniaturization: Continued reduction in package size (e.g., from 2.0mm to 1.6mm or smaller) to enable even higher density on PCBs.
- Enhanced Reliability: Improvements in packaging materials and die-attach technologies to withstand higher soldering temperatures and harsher environmental conditions.
- Tighter Binning: Advanced sorting and testing allow for narrower performance bins, giving designers more precise control over color and brightness uniformity in their products.
- Integration: A trend towards LEDs with built-in current-limiting resistors or IC drivers within the same package, simplifying circuit design.
