ALMD-EG3C-VX002

Overview

The ALMD-EG3C-VX002 is a single-color red LED from the Broadcom ALMD series, designed for surface-mount technology. It features a round AlInGaP lens with a 5 mm diameter and a dome shape, offering a 30-degree viewing angle. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 20 mA, a forward voltage of 2.1 V, and a power rating of 120 mW. The device emits light at a peak wavelength of 626 nm with an optical intensity of 9.3 cd. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and has a maximum height of 6.5 mm.

Feature Summary

• Surface-mount design in a 1717 (4.2 x 4.2 mm) package
• AlInGaP material for red light emission
• Dome-shaped non-diffused lens for directional visibility

Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Equipment front-panel signaling
• Consumer electronics status lights

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and humidity sensitivity handling requirements prior to assembly. Ensure storage conditions meet JEDDEC standards to prevent moisture damage during reflow soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-intensity red indicator is required for SMT assembly. Consider the 30-degree beam angle for focused visibility applications. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 120 mW power rating and operating temperature limits.
