AM2520QBC/D03

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Kingbright AM2520QBC/D03 is a single-color blue surface-mount LED belonging to the KM2520 series. It features a water-clear lens with a dome shape and emits light at a peak wavelength of 465 nm. The component operates with a forward voltage of 4 V and delivers a luminous intensity of 900 mcd at a standard forward current of 20 mA. It has a narrow viewing angle of 20 degrees and is housed in a compact 2.5 mm x 2.0 mm SMD package with two pins. The device supports a maximum forward current of 150 mA and a power dissipation of 120 mW, functioning within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Compact subminiature surface-mount design suitable for dense circuit layouts
• High-intensity blue emission with water-clear dome lens for optimized light transmission
• Narrow beam angle providing directional illumination capabilities

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indicators on electronic equipment
• Backlighting for small displays and keypads
• Panel lighting in consumer electronics

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against official Kingbright documentation to ensure compatibility with specific binning or suffix requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest datasheet before integration into regulated products.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require a subminiature footprint alongside high brightness output. Ensure circuit design accommodates the 4 V forward voltage drop and limits current to prevent exceeding the 120 mW power dissipation rating during operation.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This LED is part of the Kingbright KM2520 series, which offers various color options in a standardized 2520 metric package size. The series provides consistent mechanical dimensions across different wavelengths, facilitating design flexibility while maintaining uniform board layout requirements for multiple indicator functions.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other KM2520 series variants such as AM2520PBC/A03 for similar blue specifications. Verify electrical parameters and physical dimensions match before substitution.
