150040VS73240

Overview

The Würth Elektronik 150040VS73240 is a single-color green surface-mount LED from the WL-SMCC series. It features a clear lens and emits at a peak wavelength of 525nm with a dominant wavelength of 520nm. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 2.5V at a test current of 20mA. It provides an optical intensity of 100mcd and offers a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The device is housed in a compact 0402 (1005 metric) package, measuring 1.00mm in length, 0.50mm in width, and 0.50mm in maximum height.

Feature Summary

• Miniaturized 0402 SMD form factor for high-density PCB layouts
• Water-clear rectangular lens design for optimized light transmission
• Compatible with standard IR reflow soldering processes

Applications

• Embedded electronics status indication
• Industrial equipment control panels
• Consumer device front panel signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm electrical tolerances and binning classifications prior to integration. Ensure handling procedures account for moisture sensitivity level 3 requirements during storage and assembly. Cross-reference the ordering suffix to confirm the exact packaging configuration required for the production line.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile green indicator is required for space-constrained designs. The 120-degree viewing angle supports visibility in various orientations. Compare the 2.5V forward voltage against available drive voltages to ensure appropriate current limiting resistor selection for the target circuit application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the WL-SMCC family of mono-color chip LEDs. The series emphasizes miniaturization while maintaining reliable performance standards. It serves as a discrete indicator solution within Würth Elektronik's broader portfolio of optoelectronic components designed for modern electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0402 green LEDs with similar 520-525nm wavelengths and comparable forward voltage characteristics. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility and thermal management requirements before swapping manufacturers.
