AM2520ZGCK09

Overview

The AM2520ZGCK09 is a single-color green surface-mount LED from Kingbright's KM2520 series. It features a water-clear dome lens with a 1.9 mm diameter and emits light at a peak wavelength of 515 nm and a dominant wavelength of 525 nm. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 3.3 V at a test current of 20 mA, delivering an optical intensity of 2700 mcd. Its physical dimensions are 2.50 mm in length, 2.00 mm in width, and a maximum height of 2.90 mm. The device supports a reverse voltage of 5 V and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes a Z-shaped bent lead frame design for bottom entry surface mount installation.
• Features a water-clear dome lens to optimize light transmission and viewing angle.
• Constructed with a 2-SMD package configuration suitable for automated assembly processes.

Applications

• General equipment status indication
• Consumer electronics panel indicators
• Medical device signal visualization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix K09 against the official Kingbright datasheet to confirm the exact binning parameters and lens geometry. Ensure that the Z-shaped bent lead frame specification matches the PCB footprint requirements for bottom entry mounting. Confirm RoHS3 compliance documentation is available for regulatory adherence in the target market.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact green indicator with high luminous intensity is required for space-constrained designs. The 20-degree viewing angle provides focused visibility compared to wider beam alternatives. Consider the 3.3 V forward voltage drop when designing the current-limiting resistor network for the specific supply voltage.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright KM2520 series, which represents a line of subminiature surface-mount LEDs. The series is characterized by its small footprint and robust construction for dense circuit board layouts. The AM2520ZGCK09 specifically addresses the need for bright green signaling in modern electronic assemblies requiring precise spatial efficiency.

Replacement Considerations

The part number alias KM2520ZGCK09 may be used interchangeably in documentation. Verify mechanical compatibility with existing footprints before substitution. Cross-reference electrical characteristics such as forward voltage and luminous intensity with the original design specifications to ensure functional equivalence.
