AA4040QBC/D

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The AA4040QBC/D is a single-color blue surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright. It features a right-angle PLCC-2 package with dimensions of 4.0 mm x 4.0 mm x 3.6 mm. The component emits light at a wavelength of 470 nm with a water-clear lens. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 3.3 V and a forward current of 20 mA, with a power rating of 120 mW. Optical performance specifies an intensity of 150 mcd and a viewing angle of 120 degrees. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Right-angle surface-mount configuration for compact PCB layout
• Water-clear dome lens for optimized light transmission
• PLCC-2 package design compatible with standard SMT processes

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel indicator lighting
• Status indication in electronic devices
• Instrumentation displays

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'D' confirms the right-angle orientation, as standard variants may differ. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed during assembly due to moisture sensitivity classification. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm electrical parameters match design requirements.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle emission profile is required for space-constrained designs. Compare optical intensity against application visibility needs. Verify thermal management capabilities within the specified operating temperature range. Ensure footprint compatibility with existing PCB silkscreen and pad layouts.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the AA4040 series of surface-mount LEDs from Kingbright. The series offers various colors and configurations including standard and right-angle options. The AA4040QBC/D specifically addresses applications requiring directional light output perpendicular to the board surface.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

AA4040QBS/D is a similar right-angle blue LED variant within the same series. KA-4040QBS-D is listed as an alias for the standard straight-angle version, not a direct substitute for the right-angle QBC/D.
