AEMD-EL3K-VWK02

Overview

The AEMD-EL3K-VWK02 is a single-color amber LED from the AEMD series, manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It features a round lens with a non-diffused finish and a viewing angle of 30 degrees. The component emits light at a wavelength of 590 nm with an intensity of 4.2 cd. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 2.1 V and a forward current of 20 mA, resulting in a power rating of 120 mW. It utilizes an SMD/SMT mounting style in a 3-SMD package with gull wing terminals. The lens dimensions are 4.2 mm x 4.2 mm, and the total height is 6.8 mm.

Feature Summary

• Low cost surface mount design for efficient PCB integration
• Round amber lens with non-diffused transparency for focused visibility
• Gull wing terminal configuration for secure soldering

Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Status indication on electronic devices
• Control board signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact terminal type and packaging format. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for SMD components. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before procurement. Check moisture sensitivity levels for proper storage handling requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a compact amber indicator with a 30-degree viewing angle. The 2.1 V forward voltage suits low-power logic circuits. Consider the 4.2 mm x 4.2 mm footprint for space-constrained designs. Verify thermal management needs against the 120 mW power rating.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AEMD series of low-cost SMT LEDs from Broadcom. The series offers various colors and lens shapes for general indication purposes. The AEMD-EL3K-VWK02 specifically provides amber emission with a round lens profile.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other AEMD series parts for similar electrical parameters. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility when substituting with different lens shapes or terminal types.
