AEMD-EL3K-VW002

Overview

The AEMD-EL3K-VW002 is a single-color amber LED from the AEMD series by Broadcom Limited. It features a surface-mount (SMD) package with dimensions of 4.2 mm x 4.2 mm and a maximum height of 7.30 mm. The component emits light at a peak wavelength of 594 nm with a typical forward voltage of 2.1 V at a test current of 20 mA. It offers a viewing angle of 33 degrees and an optical intensity of 4.2 cd. The lens is round, diffused, and non-diffused variants are noted in related data, operating within a temperature range of -40 C to +85 C.

Feature Summary

• Surface-mount design for automated assembly processes
• Amber emission with diffused lens characteristics
• Standard SMD-3 footprint configuration

Applications

• General indicator lighting
• Panel status indication
• Electronic device signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific lens transparency specification against the official datasheet, as sources indicate both diffused and non-diffused options within the series. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) requirements for storage and handling. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the desired optical output characteristics. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers with distributor codes to avoid selection errors during procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring amber visual feedback in compact surface-mount designs. Consider the 33-degree viewing angle and 4.2 cd intensity for visibility needs. Evaluate thermal management capabilities given the 85 C maximum operating temperature. Compare with other colors in the AEMD series if different signal coding is required.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AEMD series of single-color LEDs manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It shares the same physical footprint and electrical interface characteristics as other variants in the family, such as the AEMD-EG3K-VW002, differing primarily in emission color and wavelength specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other AEMD series LEDs with identical mechanical dimensions and electrical parameters but different wavelengths, such as red or green variants. Verify pinout compatibility and forward voltage tolerance when considering cross-color replacements.
