Overview

The CUW Y3SH.B2 is a high-performance white Micro SIDELED by ams OSRAM, featuring a unique right-angle emission profile for side-lit applications. It combines a low profile of 0.60mm with a wide 120-degree viewing angle, making it ideal for backlighting and edge-lighting in space-constrained enclosures. This surface-mount LED is engineered for durability with 2kV ESD protection and Class 1B corrosion robustness.

Why Choose This Part

The right-angle surface mount design eliminates the need for vertical clearance above the PCB while maintaining a 120-degree light distribution. Its low current requirement of 20mA and wide operating temperature range from -40C to 85C make it suitable for both consumer and industrial environments.

Applications

LCD Backlighting
Providing uniform illumination for small display panels in mobile devices and industrial handhelds.
Status Indicators
Side-emitting orientation allows for visual indicators on the edge of PCBs or through light pipes.
Edge Lighting
Injecting light into clear acrylic panels or light guides for aesthetic and functional lighting effects.
Wearable Electronics
Ultra-thin 0.60mm height fits within the tight mechanical constraints of smartwatches and fitness trackers.

Getting Started

When designing the PCB layout, ensure the right-angle pads are correctly oriented for the desired emission direction. Use a standard constant current LED driver or a current-limiting resistor calculated for a 20mA test current and the specified forward voltage range of 2.7V to 5V. Follow SMT reflow soldering profiles suitable for 2-SMD J-Lead packages to maintain the integrity of the diffused lens.
