150060BS55040

Overview

The Würth Elektronik 150060BS55040 is a surface-mount indicator LED in the WL-SMCD series, housed in a 0603 (1608 metric) package. It emits blue light with a peak wavelength of 465nm and a main wavelength of 470nm. The component features a diffused lens for wide visibility, offering a viewing angle of 140 degrees. Typical forward voltage is 3.2V at a test current of 20mA, producing an optical intensity of 80mcd. Physical dimensions are 1.60mm length, 0.80mm width, and a maximum height of 0.50mm.

Feature Summary

• Blue emission with diffused lens for broad viewing angles
• Standard surface-mount configuration in compact 0603 footprint
• High optical intensity output suitable for clear indication

Applications

• General electronic status indication
• Horticultural lighting systems
• Consumer device front panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact wavelength bin and packaging format. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer certificates. Ensure ESD handling procedures are followed during storage and assembly. Cross-reference the datasheet for moisture sensitivity classification prior to reflow soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard blue indicator is required in a small form factor. The diffused lens provides uniform light distribution compared to water-clear variants. Consider the 3.2V forward voltage drop for circuit design compatibility. Verify that the 0603 package fits within the available PCB real estate constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the WL-SMCD series of single-color chip LEDs from Würth Elektronik. The series offers various colors in the 0603 package. It is designed for general-purpose indication tasks where space is limited but visibility is important. The product line includes complementary components for similar applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0603 blue diffused LEDs with similar electrical characteristics. Check alternative manufacturers for equivalent 470nm wavelength parts. Ensure pinout compatibility if replacing in existing designs. Verify mechanical height limits match the new component specifications.
