AM2520YC09

Overview

The Kingbright AM2520YC09 is a single-color yellow surface-mount LED from the KM2520 series. It features a water-clear dome lens and emits light at a peak wavelength of 590 nm with a dominant wavelength of 588 nm. The component has a forward voltage of 2.1 V and operates at a standard forward current of 20 mA, with a maximum power dissipation of 75 mW. It offers a viewing angle of 20 degrees and is housed in a compact SMD-2 package measuring 2.5 mm in length, 2 mm in width, and 1.9 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Emits yellow light optimized for industrial applications
• Features a water-clear dome lens for visibility
• Designed for surface-mount technology (SMD/SMT) installation

Applications

• Industrial equipment indication
• Electronic device status signaling
• Control panel illumination

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm exact optical intensity values, as sources cite varying metrics such as 50mcd or 2.3 cd. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required binning for color consistency. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a low-profile yellow indicator with a narrow 20-degree viewing angle. The 2.1 V forward voltage suits low-voltage logic circuits. Consider thermal management requirements due to the 75 mW power rating in dense PCB layouts.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright KM2520 series of subminiature solid-state lamps. The series provides various colors and lens shapes in a standardized 2-SMD footprint, facilitating design flexibility across different product lines while maintaining consistent mechanical mounting dimensions.

Replacement Considerations

AM2520SYCK03 is an alternative yellow LED in the same series with similar dimensions but differing electrical parameters.
