150040SS73220

Overview

The Würth Elektronik 150040SS73220 is a single-color red LED from the WL-SMCC series, designed for surface-mount technology. It features a 0402 (1005 metric) package with dimensions of 1 mm length, 0.5 mm width, and 0.25 mm height. The component emits red light at a wavelength of 645 nm with a viewing angle of 120 degrees. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 2 V at a test current of 20 mA, resulting in an optical intensity of 90 mcd and a power rating of 48 mW. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Compact 0402 SMD footprint suitable for space-constrained designs
• Water-clear rectangular lens for consistent light transmission
• High brightness output of 90 mcd at standard drive conditions

Applications

• Device status indicators
• Panel illumination
• Consumer electronics signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct lens color and optical characteristics match the design requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Check moisture sensitivity levels and recommended reflow soldering profiles to prevent component damage during assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile red indicator is required for high-density PCB layouts. The 0402 package offers a balance between visibility and board space efficiency. Ensure the driving circuit can supply the specified 20 mA forward current while maintaining the 2 V forward voltage drop for optimal performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the WL-SMCC series of chip LEDs from Würth Elektronik. The series focuses on providing reliable surface-mount lighting solutions with standardized footprints. The 150040SS73220 specifically addresses the need for compact red indicators in modern electronic devices where space is limited.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 0402 red LEDs from Würth Elektronik or alternative manufacturers if supply constraints exist. Verify that substitute parts match the 1005 metric footprint, 645 nm wavelength, and similar luminous intensity specifications.
