Overview

The KG EELP41.22 is a green 572nm light-emitting diode housed in a standard 0603 (1608 Metric) surface-mount package. Designed for indication and backlighting, it provides a luminous intensity between 52.0 and 150.0 mcd when driven at a nominal current of 20 mA. This compact component features a forward voltage range of 1.6V to 2.4V and is built to operate reliably across a temperature range of -40 to +105 degrees Celsius.

Why Choose This Part

The 0603 package offers an excellent balance between small size and ease of assembly during the pick-and-place process. Its wide operating temperature range up to 105 degrees Celsius ensures stability in industrial environments where thermal management is a concern. The tight luminous intensity binning provides consistent brightness across high-volume production runs.

Applications

Status Indicators
Visual feedback for power-on status, logic levels, or error states on printed circuit boards.
LCD Backlighting
Illumination for small alphanumeric liquid crystal displays in portable electronics.
Switch and Keypad Lighting
Compact footprint allows for mounting beneath buttons or membrane switches in control panels.
Optical Signaling
Reliable light source for short-range optical coupling or light-pipe assemblies.

Getting Started

Ensure that a current-limiting resistor is calculated based on the maximum forward voltage of 2.4V and the desired operating current, typically around 20 mA. When designing the PCB footprint, follow IPC-7351 standards for 1608 metric packages to ensure reliable solder fillets during reflow. Pay close attention to the cathode marking on the package to ensure correct polarity during automated assembly.
