SML-LX0603GW-TR
Overview
The SML-LX0603GW-TR is a surface-mount green LED housed in a compact 0603 (1608 Metric) package. It features a 565nm peak wavelength and a milky white diffused lens that provides a wide 125 degree viewing angle for uniform light distribution. This component is designed for low-power status indication, operating at a typical forward current of 20mA.
Why Choose This Part
The 125 degree viewing angle ensures high visibility from off-axis positions, reducing the need for precise alignment with light pipes. Its milky white diffused lens minimizes hot spots, creating a soft and consistent glow suitable for user interface elements. Additionally, the JEDEC Level 2a moisture sensitivity rating provides a robust floor life for high-volume manufacturing environments.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
When designing the PCB, ensure the cathode is correctly oriented according to the marking on the bottom of the package. Calculate the series resistor based on a forward voltage range of 2.2V to 2.4V to maintain the target 20mA current. For manual prototyping, use a fine-tip soldering iron or low-temperature solder paste to avoid exceeding the maximum 85C operating temperature for extended periods.
