AM2520MGC09

Overview

The AM2520MGC09 is a single-color green light-emitting diode manufactured by Kingbright. It operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.1 V, dissipating up to 75 mW. The component emits light at a peak wavelength of 568 nm with an optical intensity of 1 cd. It features a water-clear dome lens in a compact SMD-2 package measuring 2.5 mm in length, 2 mm in width, and 2.8 mm in height. The device supports a viewing angle of 20 degrees and functions within a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• Compact surface-mount design suitable for dense circuit layouts
• Water-clear dome lens for optimized light transmission
• High brightness output relative to small form factor

Applications

• Indicator lights for electronic devices
• Panel status displays
• Portable equipment illumination

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Kingbright documentation to confirm exact wavelength and binning requirements. Ensure compatibility with moisture sensitivity levels during storage and reflow soldering processes. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to validate electrical parameters before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard green indicator is required in space-constrained applications. Consider the 20-degree viewing angle and 1 cd intensity for visibility needs. Verify thermal management capabilities given the 75 mW power rating and operating temperature limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KM2520 series of ultra-compact LEDs from Kingbright. The series offers various color options and lens types in a standardized 2520 footprint. It is designed for general-purpose indication where minimal board space is available.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the same series such as other green variants. Verify pinout compatibility and dimensional tolerances when considering alternative manufacturers.
