Product type
SMD LEDs (Surface Mount Device Light Emitting Diodes) are compact semiconductor devices that emit light when an electric current passes through them. They are designed to be mounted directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs), allowing for a more efficient use of space and improved thermal management. SMD LEDs are typically made from materials such as gallium arsenide or gallium phosphide, which are known for their effective light-emitting properties.
| Wavelength range | 380 nm to 750 nm |
| Package size | 0402 to 5050 |
| Forward current | 20 mA to 1 A |
| Luminous intensity | up to 20,000 mcd |
| Operating temperature | -40°C to 85°C |
When selecting SMD LEDs, consider the desired wavelength and luminous intensity for your application. It's important to specify the package size to ensure compatibility with your PCB layout. Additionally, check the forward current rating to match your circuit requirements. Certifications such as RoHS compliance may be necessary depending on your industry standards. Be clear about the quantities needed, as bulk orders may affect pricing.
