ALMD-LB36-RU002

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The ALMD-LB36-RU002 is a single-color blue surface-mount LED from the Broadcom ALMD series. It features an oval lens with diffused transparency and measures 4.2 mm x 4.2 mm x 5.2 mm. The component operates at a forward current of 20 mA with a forward voltage of 3.2 V and a power rating of 114 mW. It emits light at a wavelength of 470 nm with an intensity of 1.4 cd. The viewing angle is specified as 40x100 degrees, and it functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Utilizes AlInGaP material for blue light emission
• Features a diffused oval lens for wide spatial radiation
• Designed for surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly
• Provides high humidity sensitivity classification

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Industrial control panel indicators
• Medical device status signaling
• Consumer electronics front panels

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status through official datasheets before integration. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during storage and reflow soldering. Ensure correct polarity alignment on PCB footprints matching the 1717 package dimensions. Validate thermal management requirements against the maximum operating temperature limit of +85°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide viewing angle is required for visibility in industrial or consumer interfaces. The diffused oval lens provides uniform light distribution suitable for indicator applications. Consider the 470 nm wavelength for standard blue signaling needs. Evaluate the 20 mA forward current requirement against available drive circuitry capabilities.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the Broadcom ALMD series of single-color LEDs. The series offers various lens shapes and colors optimized for surface-mount applications. The ALMD-LB36-RU002 specifically addresses blue light requirements with an oval form factor. It complements other variants like the red and green models in the same family.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include ALMD-LB36-SV002 for similar blue specifications. Cross-reference ALMD-LG36-WZ002 if red illumination is acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility with existing PCB layouts before substitution.
