Overview

The HSMY-C190 is a high-efficiency AlInGaP yellow LED in a compact 0603 surface-mount footprint. It features an untinted, diffused lens that provides a wide 170-degree viewing angle for consistent visibility. This industrial-standard component is designed for reliable status indication in space-constrained applications.

Why Choose This Part

The 170-degree viewing angle ensures excellent off-axis visibility, making it superior for wide-angle indicator light pipes. Its 0603 industry-standard footprint allows for high-density placement and compatibility with standard IR reflow soldering processes.

Applications

Status Indicators
Ideal for power-on or fault indication on PCBs where vertical height is limited to 0.80mm.
Backlighting
Used for backlighting small switches, buttons, and LCD panels due to its wide viewing angle.
Consumer Electronics
Provides user feedback in handheld devices and peripherals requiring low power consumption at 20mA.
Network Equipment
Suitable for port activity and system health indicators in routers and switches.

Getting Started

When designing with the HSMY-C190, ensure a current-limiting resistor is placed in series to maintain the 20mA test current and avoid exceeding the 2.1V typical forward voltage. The 0603 (1608 Metric) footprint requires standard SMT pick-and-place equipment and follows common PCB land pattern guidelines for 1.6mm x 0.8mm components.
