8. Application Design Considerations
8.1 Current Limiting Resistor Must Be Used
LED is a current-driven device.An external current-limiting resistor must always be connected in series.The forward voltage has a negative temperature coefficient; a small increase in voltage can lead to a large, potentially destructive increase in current if not properly limited. Use the formula R = (VPower Supply- VF) / IF.
Calculate the resistance value.
8.2 Thermal Management
Although the package is small, the power consumption (up to 60mW) generates heat. For continuous operation in high current or high-temperature environments, ensure sufficient PCB copper foil area or thermal vias are used to conduct heat away from the LED pad to maintain a low junction temperature, thereby achieving optimal lifespan and light output stability.
8.3 Application Limitations
This product is designed for general commercial and industrial applications. It may not be suitable for high-reliability applications without prior certification. Such applications include, but are not limited to, automotive safety/security systems, military/aerospace, and life-critical medical equipment. The device must not be operated outside the conditions specified in this datasheet.
9. Technical Comparison and Differentiation
- The primary differentiation of this 19-21 Deep Red LED lies in the specific combination of its attributes:Compared to larger SMD LEDs (e.g., 3528):
- It offers a significantly smaller footprint for space-constrained designs, although the total light output is typically lower.Compared to standard red LEDs (e.g., 630nm):
- The 650nm deep red emission provides a unique color point, which may be desired for specific aesthetic or functional reasons (e.g., certain sensor applications, specific backlight color requirements).Compared to non-binned LEDs:
A comprehensive binning system (intensity, wavelength, voltage) ensures higher consistency in color and brightness within the same production batch, which is crucial for applications using multiple LEDs where uniformity is important.
10. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
10.1 Why does my LED need a series resistor?
The I-V characteristic of an LED is very steep. Without a resistor to limit the current, any small variation in the supply voltage or forward voltage drop (which changes with temperature) can cause a large change in current, likely exceeding the absolute maximum rating and damaging the LED. The resistor provides a stable, predictable current.F?
10.2 Can I use a voltage higher than its VCan this voltage drive this LED?Yes, butFprovided you must use a series resistor
(or a constant current driver) to reduce the excess voltage and set the correct current. Due to device variations and temperature changes, directly applying a voltage equal to V
is impractical.
10.3 What happens if it is soldered in reverse?
LED will not light up because it will be in a reverse bias state. As long as the reverse voltage does not exceed the maximum rating of 5V, a brief incorrect insertion should not cause immediate damage. However, it will not function.
10.4 Why is there a 7-day time limit after opening the moisture-proof bag?
The plastic packaging of SMD components absorbs moisture from the air. During high-temperature reflow soldering, this trapped moisture rapidly expands, causing internal delamination or the "popcorn" effect, which can damage the LED chip or package. The 7-day floor life assumes proper storage conditions; exceeding this time requires baking to remove moisture.11. Practical Design and Usage Examples
- Scenario:Design a status indicator panel using 10 uniform deep red LEDs, powered by a 5V digital logic power rail.
- Current selection:Select the drive current. For good brightness and lifetime, it is specified as 20mA in the datasheet. Using 15mA will increase lifetime and reduce heat generation.FResistance calculation:FAssuming worst-case VF= 2.3V (maximum value in the datasheet). For a 5V power supply with I
- =20mA: R = (5V - 2.3V) / 0.02A = 135 Ω. The closest standard values are 130 Ω or 150 Ω. Using 150 Ω yields I≈ (5-2.3)/150 = 18mA, which is safe and within the specification range.2Resistor power dissipation:2P = I
- R = (0.018)* 150 = 0.0486W. A standard 1/8W (0.125W) resistor is sufficient.
- PCB layout:Connect a 150Ω resistor in series with the anode of each LED. Design the pad layout according to the package size. Ensure the cathode marking on the PCB silkscreen matches the marking on the LED. For thermal performance, connect the LED pads to a small copper pour.
Assembly:
Keep the reel sealed until the production line is ready. Precisely follow the reflow soldering temperature profile. After assembly, avoid bending the PCB near the LEDs.F12. Working Principle
This LED is based on an AlGaInP (aluminum gallium indium phosphide) semiconductor chip. When a forward voltage exceeding the diode junction potential (V
) is applied, electrons and holes are injected into the active region where they recombine. In this specific material system, the energy released during recombination corresponds to photons in the deep red portion of the visible spectrum (approximately 650nm). The epoxy encapsulation is water-clear to maximize light extraction efficiency and also serves to protect the semiconductor chip from environmental influences.
