AM27SGC09

Overview

The AM27SGC09 is a single-color green light-emitting diode manufactured by Kingbright. It features a T-3/4 (5mm) water-clear dome lens with a peak wavelength of 565 nm and a viewing angle of 20 degrees. The component operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.1 V, dissipating 75 mW of power. It is designed for surface-mount installation and functions within a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes a T-3/4 form factor with a water-clear dome lens for focused light emission.
• Engineered for surface-mount technology (SMT) integration on printed circuit boards.
• Provides high reliability suitable for industrial and consumer electronic environments.

Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Backlighting applications
• General-purpose status indication

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm optical intensity and wavelength tolerances. Ensure compatibility with surface-mount assembly processes and check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements during storage and reflow soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard T-3/4 footprint is required in a surface-mount configuration. Consider the 20-degree viewing angle for directional visibility needs. Evaluate the 2.1 V forward voltage drop for appropriate driver circuit design and thermal management within the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's subminiature solid-state lamp series, which offers compact LED solutions for space-constrained designs. The AM27SGC09 specifically addresses the need for reliable green indicators in modern electronics where through-hole mounting is not feasible.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution lists for equivalent T-3/4 SMD green LEDs from Kingbright or other manufacturers. Verify matching electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions before implementation.
