Overview

The HSMG-C170 is a surface-mount green LED designed in an industry-standard 0805 footprint (2.0mm x 1.25mm). It features GaP die technology on a highly efficient substrate with diffused optics to provide wide viewing angles and uniform light distribution. This component is optimized for low-power status indication where space is limited.

Why Choose This Part

With an exceptionally wide 170-degree viewing angle, this LED ensures visibility from off-axis positions. Its industry-standard footprint and compatibility with IR reflow soldering simplify manufacturing and integration into automated SMT assembly lines.

Applications

Status Indicators
Ideal for power-on LEDs and logic status indicators on densely populated PCBs.
Backlighting
Suitable for illuminating membrane switches, icons, and small control panels.
Peripheral Feedback
Used in handheld devices to provide visual user feedback for button presses or battery levels.

Getting Started

When designing the PCB footprint, refer to the 2.0mm x 1.25mm land pattern specifications in the datasheet. Ensure the current-limiting resistor is calculated based on the 2.2V typical forward voltage at 20mA to avoid exceeding the maximum ratings. This LED is shipped on 8mm tape on 7-inch reels for standard pick-and-place machine compatibility.
