150224BS73100

Overview

The Würth Elektronik 150224BS73100 is a blue surface-mount indicator LED from the WL-SMTW series. It features a clear, oval lens with a flat top and emits light at a peak wavelength of 465nm. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 3.2V at a test current of 150mA, producing an optical intensity of 280mcd. It utilizes a 2-SMD J-leaded package measuring 2.70mm in length, 2.00mm in width, and 1.50mm in maximum height. The device offers a 120-degree viewing angle and is rated for operation between -40°C and +100°C.

Feature Summary

• High-intensity blue emission optimized for visibility in compact designs
• Robust thermal performance supporting continuous operation up to 100°C
• Standardized 2-SMD footprint facilitating automated surface-mount assembly

Applications

• Status indication on high-density electronic control boards
• Visual signaling in automotive instrumentation clusters
• Power state indicators in industrial equipment interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm electrical characteristics and lens geometry. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to procurement. Ensure ordering quantities align with available reel or cut-tape configurations specified by the supplier.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high brightness is required within a small 2-SMD form factor. The 150mA drive current distinguishes it from standard 20mA indicators, necessitating appropriate circuit design for thermal management. Verify that the 3.2V forward voltage drop is compatible with the system power supply architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the WL-SMTW series of single-color LEDs manufactured by Würth Elektronik. The series provides various color options in standardized SMD packages designed for reliable surface-mount technology integration. The 150224BS73100 specifically addresses the need for high-output blue illumination in space-constrained applications.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official datasheets for direct pin-compatible substitutes within the same series. Verify that alternative components match the 2.70mm x 2.00mm footprint and 1.50mm height constraints. Ensure replacement parts support the required 150mA operating current and similar optical intensity levels.
