LW QH8G-Q2OO-3K5L-1-5-R18
Overview
The LW QH8G-Q2OO-3K5L-1-5-R18 is a compact white LED in an ultra-small 0402 (1008 metric) surface-mount package. Utilizing InGaN on Sapphire technology, it delivers a typical brightness of 185mcd at a low test current of 5mA, making it ideal for space-constrained status indication. The component features a diffused resin lens that provides a wide viewing angle of 115 degrees to 160 degrees.
Why Choose This Part
This LED offers a high millicandela rating of 185mcd at a very low 5mA current, which helps conserve power in battery-operated devices. Its extremely low profile of 0.35mm allows it to fit under slim light guides or within thin enclosure walls. The diffused rectangular lens ensures even light distribution across a wide viewing angle for better visibility from off-axis positions.

Key Specifications
Getting Started
To integrate this 0402 LED, ensure your PCB footprint accounts for the 1.0mm x 0.5mm package dimensions and use a constant current driver or a series resistor calculated for a 2.8V typical forward voltage. Because it is an InGaN device, follow standard ESD precautions during assembly to prevent latent damage to the chip.
