ASMT-SWB5-NW703

Overview

The ASMT-SWB5-NW703 is a surface-mount white LED from Broadcom Limited, housed in a 4-PLCC package. It utilizes InGaN technology to produce cold white light with a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 3.2V and a test current of 30mA, supporting a maximum continuous forward current of 50mA. Its physical dimensions are 3.5mm x 2.8mm, providing a compact form factor suitable for space-constrained designs.

Feature Summary

• Produces cold white light output using InGaN semiconductor technology
• Features a wide 120-degree viewing angle for broad illumination coverage
• Utilizes a standard 4-PLCC surface-mount package for easy integration

Applications

• Status indication in consumer electronics devices
• Backlighting applications requiring white illumination
• Indicator lights in industrial control panels
• Signal indication in telecommunications equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct binning for color coordinates and luminous intensity. Confirm that the requested quantity matches the manufacturer's standard packaging specifications. Check for RoHS compliance documentation to meet environmental regulations. Ensure the supplier provides original manufacturer packaging to guarantee authenticity. Validate the production status to confirm availability for long-term supply chain planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact white indicator is required with a wide viewing angle. Consider the 3.2V forward voltage drop for power budget calculations. Evaluate the 50mA maximum current rating against thermal management capabilities. Compare the 120-degree beam width against optical requirements for visibility. Assess the PLCC-4 footprint compatibility with existing PCB layouts.
