2.2 Electro-Optical Characteristics

Measured at a standard test condition of T_a = 25°C and I_F = 20mA, unless otherwise specified. The ±11% tolerance on luminous intensity is a critical design consideration.

• Luminous Intensity (I_v):
  • Y2 (Brilliant Yellow): Typical value is provided within a binning range of 45.0-112 mcd.
  • G6 (Brilliant Yellow-Green): Typical value is provided within a binning range of 28.5-72.0 mcd.
• Viewing Angle (2θ_1/2): 130 degrees (typical). This wide viewing angle is suitable for indicator and backlighting applications requiring broad visibility.
• Peak Wavelength (λ_p):
  • Y2: 591 nm (typical).
  • G6: 575 nm (typical).
• Dominant Wavelength (λ_d):
  • Y2: 589 nm (typical).
  • G6: 573 nm (typical).

  • Y2: 15 nm (typical).
  • G6: 20 nm (typical). The slightly broader spectrum of the G6 chip is characteristic of its material composition.
• Forward Voltage (V_F):
  • Y2 & G6: 2.00V (typical), with a range from 1.70V to 2.40V at I_F=20mA. This relatively low V_F contributes to higher efficiency.
• Reverse Current (I_R): 10 μA (max) at V_R=5V.

3. Binning System Explanation

The luminous output of LEDs varies from batch to batch. A binning system ensures consistency for the end-user by grouping LEDs with similar performance.

3.1 Luminous Intensity Binning

For Y2 (Brilliant Yellow):

• Bin Code P: 45.0 mcd (Min) to 72.0 mcd (Max).
• Bin Code Q: 72.0 mcd (Min) to 112 mcd (Max).

For G6 (Brilliant Yellow-Green):

• Bin Code N: 28.5 mcd (Min) to 45.0 mcd (Max).
• Bin Code P: 45.0 mcd (Min) to 72.0 mcd (Max).

The specific bin code (CAT) is indicated on the product label. Designers must account for the minimum value within a selected bin to guarantee sufficient brightness in their application.

4. Performance Curve Analysis

While specific graphical data points are not provided in the text extract, the datasheet references typical electro-optical characteristic curves for both the Y2 and G6 chip types. These curves are essential for understanding device behavior under non-standard conditions.

4.1 Inferred Curve Characteristics

Based on standard LED physics and the parameters provided, the following relationships are expected:

• Relative Luminous Intensity vs. Forward Current (I_F): The light output will increase super-linearly with current up to a point, after which efficiency droop may occur. Operation should be kept at or below the rated I_F of 25mA.
• Relative Luminous Intensity vs. Ambient Temperature (T_a): Luminous intensity typically decreases as junction temperature rises. The curve will show a negative slope, emphasizing the importance of thermal management for maintaining consistent brightness, especially at high ambient temperatures.
• Forward Voltage vs. Forward Current (V_F-I_F): This will exhibit the classic diode exponential curve. The typical V_F of 2.0V at 20mA is a key point on this curve.
• Forward Current vs. Ambient Temperature: This derating curve likely shows the maximum permissible I_F decreasing as T_a increases to prevent exceeding the P_d limit.
• Spectral Distribution: The curves for both chips will show a distinct peak at their respective λ_p (591nm for Y2, 575nm for G6) with the specified bandwidth (Δλ).

5. Mechanical and Package Information

5.1 Package Dimensions

The 19-22 SMD LED features an industry-standard package footprint. Key dimensions (tolerance ±0.1mm unless noted) include a compact body size critical for high-density layouts. The exact length, width, and height are defined in the detailed dimension drawing, which includes pad layout, component outline, and polarity identification (typically via a cathode mark or a cut corner on the package).

6. Soldering and Assembly Guidelines

6.1 Critical Precautions

• Current Limiting: An external series resistor is mandatory to prevent thermal runaway and burnout due to the LED's negative temperature coefficient and sharp I-V characteristics.
• Storage & Moisture Sensitivity:
  • Do not open the moisture-proof bag until ready for use.
  • After opening, unused LEDs must be stored at ≤30°C and ≤60% RH.
  • The "floor life" after bag opening is 168 hours (7 days).
  • If exceeded, a bake-out at 60±5°C for 24 hours is required before reflow.

6.2 Soldering Profile (Pb-free)

A recommended reflow profile is provided:

• Pre-heating: 150-200°C for 60-120 seconds.
• Time Above Liquidus (217°C): 60-150 seconds.
• Peak Temperature: 260°C maximum, held for a maximum of 10 seconds.
• Heating Rate: Maximum 6°C/sec.
• Time Above 255°C: Maximum 30 seconds.
• Cooling Rate: Maximum 3°C/sec.

Important Restrictions: 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.

6.3 Hand Soldering & Repair

Calculate the resistor value using R = (V_supply - V_F) / I_F, using the maximum V_F from the datasheet to ensure I_F does not exceed the limit under worst-case conditions.
• Thermal Management: While the power dissipation is low, ensure adequate PCB copper area or thermal vias under the LED pads if operating at high ambient temperatures or at maximum I_F to maintain performance and longevity.
• Optical Design: The 130-degree viewing angle provides wide emission. For focused or directed light, external lenses or light guides may be necessary.

9. Technical Comparison & Differentiation

The primary differentiators of the 19-22 series are its miniature size and comprehensive environmental compliance. Compared to larger SMD LEDs or through-hole variants, it enables superior packing density. Its specific AlGaInP material system for yellow and yellow-green colors offers high efficiency and color purity in these wavelengths. The combination of RoHS, REACH, and halogen-free compliance makes it suitable for the most demanding global markets and environmentally conscious designs, often providing an advantage over older or less compliant components.

10. Frequently Asked Questions (Based on Technical Parameters)

10.1 Why is a current-limiting resistor absolutely necessary?

The forward voltage (V_F) of an LED has a negative temperature coefficient and varies from unit to unit (1.7V to 2.4V). Connecting it directly to a voltage source even slightly above its V_F will cause current to rise exponentially, quickly exceeding the Absolute Maximum Rating of 25mA and leading to immediate thermal destruction. The resistor provides a linear, stable current limit.

10.2 What does the "±11% tolerance" on luminous intensity mean for my design?

It means the actual luminous intensity of any single LED can be up to 11% higher or lower than the typical or binned value. Therefore, your optical system should be designed to function correctly with the minimum expected intensity (Typical/Bin Min * 0.89). Do not design based solely on the typical value.

10.3 Can I use this LED outdoors?

The operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C, which covers many outdoor environments. However, direct exposure to UV radiation, moisture, and contaminants is not addressed by the chip package alone. For outdoor use, the LED must be properly potted or housed within an enclosure that provides environmental sealing and protection.

10.4 Yaya yin fassara lambobin kwandon shara (P, Q, N) lokacin yin oda?

Specify the required bin code(s) based on your brightness needs. For example, if your design requires at least 70 mcd of yellow light, you must order Bin Q (72-112 mcd), as Bin P (45-72 mcd) may have units below your requirement. Ordering a mix of bins or "any bin" may lead to visible brightness inconsistencies in your product.

11. Nazarin Shari'ar Zane na Aiki

Scenario: Designing a low-power status indicator for a portable device powered by a 3.3V rail. The indicator must be clearly visible in ambient light.

Selection: The 19-22 G6 (Yellow-Green, Bin P) is chosen for its high luminous efficiency in the photopic (human eye sensitivity) range and low V_F.

Calculation: Target I_F = 15mA (below max for margin)._F from datasheet (2.4V) for worst-case current calculation:_supply - V_F) / I_F = (3.3V - 2.4V) / 0.015A = 60 Ω.²R = (0.015)² * 60 = 0.0135W. A standard 1/16W or 1/10W resistor is sufficient.

Layout: The compact 19-22 footprint is placed on the PCB. Small thermal relief connections to the pad are used to facilitate soldering while maintaining some thermal conduction to the board plane.

12. Operating Principle Introduction

The 19-22 LED is a solid-state light source based on a semiconductor p-n junction. The Y2 and G6 chips utilize AlGaInP (Aluminum Gallium Indium Phosphide) as the active semiconductor material. When a forward voltage exceeding the diode's turn-on threshold is applied, electrons and holes are injected into the active region where they recombine. In AlGaInP, this recombination primarily releases energy in the form of photons (light) in the yellow to yellow-green region of the visible spectrum (573-591 nm). The specific color (wavelength) is determined by the precise atomic composition and bandgap energy of the AlGaInP alloy. The water-clear resin encapsulant protects the semiconductor die and acts as a primary lens, shaping the initial light output pattern.

13. Technology Trends

The 19-22 LED represents ongoing trends in optoelectronics: miniaturization, increased efficiency, and enhanced reliability and compliance. The move to smaller packages like this enables more sophisticated and compact end products. The use of AlGaInP material provides high internal quantum efficiency for amber/yellow/green colors. The industry-wide shift to Pb-free soldering and halogen-free materials, as seen in this component, is driven by global environmental regulations (RoHS, REACH) and customer demand for greener electronics. Future developments may focus on further efficiency gains (higher mcd/mA), tighter color and brightness binning for consistency, and packages that enable even higher density placement or integrated driver circuitry.
