SML-D12U8WT86C
Overview
The SML-D12U8WT86C is a high-brightness red LED from Rohm Semiconductor housed in a compact 0603 (1608 Metric) surface-mount package. It emits light at a peak wavelength of 620nm and is designed for standard indication tasks requiring a low profile with a maximum height of 0.65mm. This component is optimized for low-power operation with a typical forward voltage of 2.2V at a 20mA test current.
Why Choose This Part
The 0603 footprint provides a balance between ease of manufacturing and space savings, while the flat top lens ensures a wide viewing angle for status indication. Its operating temperature range of -40C to 100C makes it suitable for demanding industrial and consumer environments. The 0.55mm nominal height allows for integration into slim mechanical enclosures.

Key Specifications
Getting Started
When designing the PCB, ensure the cathode is correctly oriented according to the marking on the underside of the package. Use a standard current-limiting resistor calculated for the 2.2V forward voltage and desired brightness, typically targeting 5mA to 20mA for standard indication. Follow JEDEC moisture sensitivity level guidelines for reflow soldering to prevent package delamination.
