150121M153000

Overview

The Würth Elektronik 150121M153000 is a surface-mount RGB LED from the WL-SFCD series. It features a diffused lens in an 0805 (2012 metric) package with dimensions of 2.7 mm x 2 mm. The component emits Red, Green, and Blue light with peak wavelengths at 635 nm, 550 nm, and 470 nm respectively. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 2 V for the green channel and 3.3 V for red and blue channels, with a maximum forward current of 25 mA per color.

Feature Summary

• Integrates red, green, and blue emitters into a single compact surface-mount package
• Utilizes a diffused lens to provide wide viewing angles and uniform light distribution
• Supports common cathode configuration for simplified circuit design

Applications

• Status indication in consumer electronics
• Backlighting for small displays and keypads
• Decorative lighting in portable devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer datasheet to ensure correct wavelength and binning specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and humidity sensitivity level prior to PCB assembly planning. Check for updated packaging formats such as cut tape or reel options available through authorized distributors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require an RGB solution in an 0805 footprint. Ensure driver circuits can handle the distinct forward voltage differences between the green and red/blue channels. Consider the diffused lens properties if glare reduction or wider viewing angles are required for the application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Würth Elektronik WL-SFCD series of multi-color LEDs. The series focuses on providing integrated color solutions in standard SMD footprints. The 0805 size offers a balance between optical output and board real estate efficiency for dense electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 0805 RGB LEDs from Würth or competitors ensuring identical pinout and electrical parameters. Verify that substitute parts match the specific wavelength bins and luminous intensity requirements of the original design.
