- Pins 3 and 4: Connected to the red LED chip (AlInGaP).Pins 5 and (6,7): Not connected (NC).
5.3 Recommended PCB Pad Layout
It provides recommended pad patterns (copper pad layout) to ensure reliable soldering, proper thermal management, and mechanical stability. Following this recommendation helps prevent tombstoning and ensures good solder joint formation.
- 6. Welding and Assembly Guide
- 6.1 Infrared Reflow Soldering Temperature Profile
- A detailed lead-free (Pb-free) reflow soldering temperature profile is specified for lead-free soldering processes, complying with the J-STD-020B standard. The graph shows:
- Preheating/Warming Zone:
Control the temperature rise to activate the flux.
- Soaking Zone:A plateau stage to uniformly heat the circuit board and components.
- Reflow Zone:The peak temperature must not exceed the component's maximum allowable value (related to storage temperature).
- Cooling rate:Control the cooling to allow the solder joints to solidify properly.
Following this temperature profile is crucial to prevent thermal shock and ensure reliable solder connections without damaging the LED package or internal chip.
6.2 Cleaning
If cleaning is required after welding:
- Use only ethanol or isopropanol.Soak the LED at room temperature.
- Limit the soaking time to less than one minute.Avoid using unspecified chemical cleaners as they may damage the packaging material (e.g., causing discoloration or cracking).
- 6.3 Storage and Handling ConditionsSealed packaging:
- Store at ≤30°C and ≤70% relative humidity (RH). When stored in the original moisture barrier bag with desiccant, the shelf life is one year.Opened packaging:
- The storage environment shall not exceed 30°C and 60% RH. Components removed from the original packaging should be infrared reflow soldered within 168 hours (7 days).
- Long-term storage (out of bag):
- For storage exceeding 168 hours, LEDs should be stored in a sealed container with desiccant or in a nitrogen-purged desiccator to prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to the "popcorn" effect during reflow soldering.

- S
- ) can be calculated using Ohm's Law: R
- S
= (V
Power supply
- - VF
- ) / IF
- . Use the maximum V from the datasheet.F
- value to ensure that the current does not exceed the limit even with component variations. For more stable performance, especially under varying supply voltage or temperature conditions, it is recommended to use a constant current driver (linear or switching).8.2 Thermal Management
Although the power consumption is relatively low, proper thermal design can extend LED lifespan and maintain stable light output.
Use the recommended PCB pad layout to aid in heat dissipation.
In high-current or high-ambient-temperature applications, consider using thermal vias under the pad to transfer heat to internal or bottom copper layers.
By considering the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (θ
JA
), ensure that the maximum junction temperature is not exceeded.
8.3 Optical Design Considerations
A 120-degree viewing angle provides a wide, diffuse light pattern, suitable for backlighting and status indicators.
For a more focused beam, secondary optics (lenses) can be placed above the LED.
The yellow lens acts as a color filter/diffuser for white light, which may affect the exact Correlated Color Temperature (CCT).
9. Technical Comparison and Differentiation
The primary differentiation of this component lies in its integration of a dual-color (white and red) configuration within a single SMD package. Compared to using two separate LEDs, this saves PCB space and simplifies assembly. Key points include:
Space efficiency:
- Integrating two functions within one package size.Ease of Assembly:
- One placement cycle replaces two.Performance:
- Provides independent, individually addressable white and red light sources, each with specified performance binning.
- Compatibility:
- Standard EIA package dimensions and infrared reflow compatibility make it a plug-and-play solution for modern SMT production lines.10. Frequently Asked Questions (Based on Technical Parameters)
- 10.1 Can I drive this LED directly with a 5V power supply?No. Connecting a 5V power supply directly across the LED will cause excessive current and likely damage it. You must use a current-limiting mechanism, such as a series resistor or constant current driver, set to a maximum of 30mA DC.
- 10.2 What is the difference between luminous flux (lm) and luminous intensity (mcd)?Luminous flux (lumens) measures the total amount of visible light emitted by the LED in all directions. Luminous intensity (candelas) measures the brightness of the LED as seen from a specific viewing direction. The mcd value in the datasheet is typically the axial (on-axis) intensity. A wide-viewing-angle LED may have a higher lumen number but a lower mcd value compared to a narrow-beam LED with the same lumen output.
Please specify the combined bin code (e.g., A3) according to the cross-reference table to ensure the white light (e.g., W2) and red light (e.g., R1) components of the LED you receive fall within the required performance range. This is crucial for applications requiring consistent brightness and color across multiple units.
10.4 Is this LED suitable for outdoor environments?
- Its operating temperature range is as low as -40°C, but up to +85°C. While it can function in some outdoor environments, the datasheet primarily lists indoor applications (signage, displays). For outdoor use, potential UV radiation, moisture ingress, and higher ambient temperatures must be considered, which may require additional protective measures not covered in this document.11. Practical Design and Usage Cases
- Scenario: Dual-state indicator lights for network routersDesigners need to set up power (steady white light) and network activity (blinking red light) indicator lights on a compact router PCB.

- PCB layout:Use the recommended pad layout. Thermal connections have been added to the pads to facilitate soldering while maintaining a thermal path to the ground plane for slight heat dissipation.
- Binning:To ensure consistency among production units, the binning code A3 (White: W2, Red: R1) is specified in the Bill of Materials (BOM), ensuring all routers have indicators with similar brightness.
- Assembly:Components are supplied in 7-inch reels, compatible with the pick-and-place machines of the assembly line. The specified infrared reflow soldering temperature profile has been programmed into the reflow oven.
- This case highlights the practicality of the component in space-constrained, multi-functional indicator applications commonly found in consumer electronics.12. Introduction to Principles
