ALMD-EL3M-VX002

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The ALMD-EL3M-VX002 is a single-color amber LED lamp from the ALMD series, manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It utilizes AlInGaP technology with a round lens shape and non-diffused transparency. The component features a surface mount (SMD/SMT) installation style within a 1717 package (4.2 mm x 4.2 mm). 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 peak wavelength is 590 nm, providing an optical intensity of 9.3 cd. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify component status carefully as this part number is listed as obsolete or discontinued by major distributors. Confirm availability through authorized channels or secondary markets if replacement is required. Ensure that any sourced units match the original specifications for wavelength, voltage, and package dimensions to maintain compatibility with existing designs.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component only if the specific amber color and 590 nm wavelength are required for the application. Consider the 2.1 V forward voltage when designing drive circuits. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the 120 mW power rating and operating temperature limits. Verify that the SMD footprint matches the PCB layout constraints.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This LED belongs to the ALMD series of surface mount indicators. It shares physical dimensions with other variants in the family but differs in color and semiconductor material. The 1717 package size is common for low-profile indicator applications where space is limited.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. As the product is marked obsolete, consult manufacturer resources for direct replacements or equivalent components with matching electrical and mechanical specifications.
