ALMD-LG37-XZ002

Overview

The ALMD-LG37-XZ002 is a single-color red LED lamp manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It utilizes AlInGaP technology to emit light at a wavelength of 626 nm. The component features an oval lens with dimensions of 4.2 mm x 4.2 mm and provides a wide viewing angle of 40° x 100°. 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 luminous intensity is specified at 2.9 cd. It is designed for surface mount technology (SMT) assembly in the 1717 package.

Feature Summary

• High brightness material construction suitable for superior performance in outdoor sign applications
• Compatible with industrial reflow soldering processes and standard SMT assembly methods
• Wide viewing angle design ensuring well-defined spatial radiation pattern
• Tinted and diffused lens configuration for optimized light distribution

Applications

• Full color signs
• Video signs
• Indoor passenger information signs
• Outdoor passenger information signs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official datasheet to confirm exact binning and packaging requirements. Ensure that the procurement matches the required intensity and color bins for uniformity, particularly noting any exceptions for red color variants. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (JEDEC MSL 2A) prior to inventory acceptance.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high brightness and wide viewing angles are required for SMT assembly. Consider the 40° x 100° viewing angle and 2.9 cd intensity for visibility needs. Evaluate compatibility with reflow soldering processes and the need for tinted/diffused lenses. Compare against other colors in the ALMD-Lx37 series if different wavelengths are needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Avago ALMD-Lx37 Oval LED series, which includes Amber, Red, Green, and Blue options. The series is engineered to match or exceed the luminous intensity of conventional through-hole LEDs while enabling surface mount integration. The components are shipped in tape and reel format for automated pick-and-place assembly.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official datasheet for direct substitutes within the ALMD-Lx37 family. Verify pinout and thermal characteristics before replacing with generic equivalents. No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation.
