156125RG73000

Overview

The Würth Elektronik 156125RG73000 is a bi-color surface-mount LED from the WL-SBRW series. It features a rectangular 1205 (3212 metric) package with dimensions of 3.2 mm length, 1.2 mm width, and 1.1 mm height. The device emits green light at 525 nm with an intensity of 180 mcd and red light at 624 nm with an intensity of 285 mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 3.3 V for the green element and 2 V for the red element. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Bi-color configuration combining green and red emission in a single reverse-mount SMD package
• Water-clear lens material providing wide viewing angle capabilities
• RoHS compliant construction suitable for automated surface-mount assembly processes

Applications

• Status indication on electronic circuit boards
• Visual signaling in consumer electronics devices
• Indicator lights for industrial control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by cross-referencing the manufacturer part number 156125RG73000 with official Wurth Elektronik documentation. Confirm that the received units match the WL-SBRW series specifications regarding pinout and physical dimensions. Ensure storage conditions account for moisture sensitivity levels as indicated in the datasheet to prevent damage during soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact bi-color indicator is required for space-constrained designs. The 1205 footprint offers a balance between visibility and board area efficiency. Consider the specific forward voltage requirements for both color channels when designing the driving circuitry to ensure proper current limiting and thermal management.

Part Context

This part belongs to the WL-SBRW series of bi-color LEDs from Würth Elektronik. These components are designed for reverse mounting, allowing for low-profile installations. The series utilizes standard SMD packaging techniques, facilitating integration into modern high-density PCB layouts where multiple status indicators are necessary.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 156125RB73000 for red/blue combinations. Verify compatibility with existing footprints and electrical parameters before swapping. Alternative packages may require schematic modifications.
