150040RS73240

Overview

Würth Elektronik 150040RS73240 is a single-color surface-mount LED in the WL-SMCC series. It features a red lens with a clear, water-clear finish and emits light at a peak wavelength of 630 nm (dominant 625 nm). The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 2 V at a test current of 20 mA. It provides an optical intensity of 100 mcd with a 120° viewing angle. The package dimensions are 1.00 mm x 0.50 mm x 0.50 mm max.

Feature Summary

• Rectangular lens design with a flat top profile for consistent visual indication
• Water-clear lens transparency to maximize light output efficiency
• Standard configuration suitable for compact surface-mount assembly processes

Applications

• Electronic device status indicators
• Panel-mounted signal lights
• Consumer electronics status displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact color and packaging format. Confirm RoHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 handling requirements during storage and reflow soldering. Ensure ESD precautions are followed during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile 0402 footprint is required for red indication. Consider the 100 mcd intensity and 120° viewing angle for visibility requirements. Verify that the 2 V forward voltage aligns with the circuit drive capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Würth Elektronik WL-SMCC series of single-color chip LEDs. The series offers various colors in a standardized 0402 metric package, facilitating automated pick-and-place manufacturing and space-constrained PCB layouts.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the same WL-SMCC family with identical mechanical dimensions. Verify electrical compatibility regarding forward voltage and luminous intensity before substitution.
