ALMD-EL3E-XYK02

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The ALMD-EL3E-XYK02 is a single-color amber LED from the Broadcom ALMD series, designed for surface-mount applications. It utilizes AlInGaP technology to emit light at a wavelength of 590 nm with a viewing angle of 30 degrees. The component features a round, non-diffused lens in an amber color, housed in a 4-SMD gull-wing package measuring 4.2 mm x 4.2 mm with a height of 6.5 mm. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 2.1 V and a forward current rating of 20 mA, resulting in a power rating of 120 mW. It offers a luminous intensity of 9.3 cd and operates within a temperature range of -40 C to +85 C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Utilizes AlInGaP semiconductor material for efficient amber light emission
• Features a compact 4.2 mm square SMD footprint with gull-wing terminals
• Provides a narrow 30-degree viewing angle for directional indication
• Operates with low forward voltage to support energy-efficient designs

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Industrial equipment status indicators
• Control panel signal lamps
• Discrete electronic device illumination
• Automotive interior lighting accents

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix XYK02 against official Broadcom documentation to confirm exact binning and optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for 4-SMD packages. Check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements during storage and assembly. Confirm availability status as supply chain conditions may vary for discontinued or legacy components.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-intensity amber indicator is required for space-constrained PCB layouts. The 2.1 V forward voltage makes it suitable for low-voltage logic interfaces without additional current-limiting complexity. Consider the 30-degree beam width for applications requiring focused visibility rather than wide-area diffusion.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the ALMD series of miniature LEDs from Broadcom Limited. The series is characterized by small form factors and high reliability for industrial and consumer electronics. The ALMD-EL3E variant specifically denotes the amber color and specific lens configuration within this product line.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 4.2mm amber SMD LEDs with similar 2.1V Vf and 30-degree angles. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution. Cross-reference with Broadcom's official replacement guides for end-of-life management.
