AM2520SYCK09

Overview

The AM2520SYCK09 is a single-color yellow surface-mount LED from Kingbright, part of the KM2520 series. It features a water-clear dome lens with a 1.9 mm diameter and emits light at a peak wavelength of 590 nm. The component operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a typical forward voltage of 2 V, dissipating up to 75 mW. It delivers an optical intensity of 1300 mcd (1.3 cd) with a viewing angle of 20 degrees. Housed in a compact SMD-2 package measuring 2.5 mm x 2.0 mm x 2.8 mm, it functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Emits yellow light at a 590 nm peak wavelength through a water-clear dome lens
• Compact 2.5 mm x 2.0 mm SMD-2 footprint for dense circuit board layouts
• High optical intensity of 1300 mcd ensures clear visibility in indicator applications

Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Equipment power state signaling
• Consumer electronics front panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against manufacturer documentation to confirm exact binning and luminous intensity grades. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and reflow soldering processes. Ensure compatibility with standard SMD assembly equipment for the 2.5 mm x 2.0 mm package dimensions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor yellow indicator is required. Compare forward voltage characteristics with available drive circuits to ensure proper current limiting. Evaluate thermal management needs relative to the 75 mW power rating and operating temperature limits.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Kingbright KM2520 series of ultra-small surface-mount LEDs. The series offers various color options including red, green, and orange variants, all sharing similar physical dimensions. The AM2520SYCK09 specifically provides yellow emission optimized for general indication purposes.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as AM2520SYCK03 or KM2520SYCK09 which share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Verify pinout orientation and lens transparency differences before substituting.
