AM2520YC03

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The AM2520YC03 is a single-color yellow LED manufactured by Kingbright, designed for surface-mount technology (SMD/SMT) applications. It features a subminiature SMD-2 package with dimensions of 2.5 mm in length, 2 mm in width, and 2.8 mm in height. The component emits light at a wavelength of 588 nm with a water-clear dome lens that provides a viewing angle of 20 degrees. Electrical characteristics include a forward current rating of 20 mA, a forward voltage of 2.1 V, and a power rating of 75 mW. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and exhibits moisture sensitivity.

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number against official Kingbright documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to assembly. Check for specific ordering suffixes if reel or cut-tape packaging is required. Ensure storage conditions meet humidity control standards to prevent degradation before soldering.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile yellow indicator is needed for surface-mount assembly. Compare forward voltage and luminous intensity requirements against circuit design limits. Consider the 20-degree viewing angle for visibility needs. Evaluate thermal management capabilities given the 75 mW power rating and operating temperature range.
