ALMD-EL2E-XZ002

Overview

The ALMD-EL2E-XZ002 is a single-color amber LED from the Broadcom ALMD series, designed for surface mount technology. It utilizes AlInGaP semiconductor material to emit light at a dominant wavelength of 590 nm. The component features a round, non-diffused lens with a viewing angle of 23 degrees and measures 4.2 mm by 4.2 mm. Electrical characteristics include a typical forward voltage of 2.1 V at a test current of 20 mA, with a power rating of 120 mW. Luminous intensity ranges from 7200 to 16000 mcd.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount construction with gull wing leads for automated assembly
• High luminous intensity amber emission using AlInGaP technology
• Non-diffused round lens design for focused optical output

Applications

• Panel indicator lights in industrial equipment
• Status indication on consumer electronic devices
• Control interface illumination for machinery

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix XZ002 against the official Broadcom datasheet to confirm lead frame configuration and reel packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles and check moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to handling. Confirm that the 23-degree viewing angle meets the optical design constraints of the target application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high brightness amber indication is required in a compact surface mount footprint. The 23-degree beam angle suits applications needing directed visibility rather than wide-area diffusion. Compare the 7200–16000 mcd intensity range against ambient lighting conditions to ensure adequate visibility without excessive drive current.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ALMD family of single-color LEDs manufactured by Broadcom Limited. The series offers various lens shapes and colors optimized for surface mount processes. The EL2E variant specifically denotes the amber color and physical dimensions within this broader product line.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with ALMD-EL3E-WY002 for similar amber SMT options, noting differences in viewing angle and intensity. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substituting with other manufacturers' 4.2x4.2mm amber LEDs.
