150040BS73220

Overview

The Würth Elektronik 150040BS73220 is a blue surface-mount indicator LED in the WL-SMCC series. It features a clear rectangular lens with a flat top, emitting at a peak wavelength of 465nm. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 3.2V and a test current of 20mA. It provides an optical intensity of 100mcd with a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The package dimensions are 1.00mm x 0.50mm x 0.35mm maximum height.

Feature Summary

• Blue emission with clear water-clear lens for high visibility
• Compact 0402 (1005 metric) surface-mount footprint
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle for broad illumination coverage

Applications

• Embedded electronics status indication
• Industrial equipment signaling
• Consumer device power indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify datasheet specifications against project requirements before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance and MSL rating for assembly processes. Ensure compatible reflow soldering profiles are used to maintain component integrity during manufacturing.

Selection Notes

Select this part for space-constrained designs requiring blue indication. Compare forward voltage and luminous intensity against alternative colors if specific visual signaling is required. Verify PCB land pattern matches the 0402 package dimensions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the WL-SMCC series of single-color SMD LEDs from Würth Elektronik. It shares the same physical package and mounting characteristics as other variants in the series, differing primarily in semiconductor material and resulting emission color.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0402 blue LEDs with similar electrical parameters. Cross-reference with Würth part numbers like 150040SS73220 or 150040RS73220 only if color difference is acceptable.
