150040SS73240

Overview

The Würth Elektronik 150040SS73240 is a surface-mount monochromatic LED from the WL-SMCC series, designed for compact electronic assemblies. It features a Super Red lens with a peak wavelength of 630nm and emits at a primary wavelength of 625nm. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 2V at a test current of 20mA. Housed in a 0402 (1005 metric) package measuring 1.00mm x 0.50mm x 0.50mm, it offers a viewing angle of 120 degrees and a luminous intensity of 100mcd.

Feature Summary

• Super Red color emission with clear transparent lens
• Compact 0402 surface-mount footprint for space-constrained designs
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle for broad visibility

Applications

• Status indication on consumer electronics
• Panel indicators for industrial control systems
• Signal lights in automotive instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact color variant and packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with RoHS3 standards and check Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings for reflow soldering processes. Confirm lead times and minimum order quantities directly with authorized distributors prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor is required alongside specific red spectrum requirements. Consider the 120-degree viewing angle for applications needing wide visibility. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 2V forward voltage drop and 20mA operating current constraints within the circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the WL-SMCC family of SMD mono-color chip LEDs. The series provides various color options in standardized 0402 packages, enabling consistent mechanical design across different product lines while allowing electrical differentiation through color selection.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0402 Super Red LEDs from Würth Elektronik such as 150040RS73240, provided the specific luminous intensity and wavelength tolerances match the application requirements. Cross-manufacturer replacements require careful verification of pinout, dimensions, and optical characteristics.
