150060YS55040

Overview

The 150060YS55040 is a single-color surface-mount LED from the WL-SMCD series by Würth Elektronik. It features a 0603 (1608 metric) package with dimensions of 1.6 mm length, 0.8 mm width, and 0.7 mm height. The device emits yellow light at a peak wavelength of 591 nm. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 2 V and a forward current rating of 20 mA. Optical performance specifies a luminous intensity of 40 mcd with a viewing angle of 140 degrees. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes a compact 0603 SMD form factor for space-constrained designs
• Provides high-brightness yellow emission with a wide 140-degree viewing angle
• Features a water-clear rectangular lens for optimized light transmission

Applications

• General indicator lighting in consumer electronics
• Status indication on portable devices
• Instrument panel illumination
• Backlighting applications requiring yellow spectrum

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'YS55040' against official datasheets to confirm the exact wavelength and binning specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for 0603 packages. Confirm moisture sensitivity level requirements for storage and handling procedures prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile yellow indicator is required in tight PCB layouts. The 150060YS55040 offers a balance of optical intensity and physical size suitable for dense assemblies. Consider the 140-degree viewing angle for visibility requirements and verify thermal management needs for continuous operation at maximum forward current.
