BL-HGE37A-AV-TRB

Overview

The BL-HGE37A-AV-TRB is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by American Bright Optoelectronics Corporation. It features a 0402 (1005 metric) rectangular package with a water-clear lens and emits green light at a peak wavelength of 568 to 574 nm. The component operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage range of 2.0 to 2.2 V, resulting in a power rating of approximately 0.06 W. It provides a minimum luminous intensity of 1 mcd and offers a wide viewing angle of 120 degrees.

Feature Summary

• Emits green light within the standard spectrum for general indication purposes
• Utilizes a compact 0402 SMD form factor suitable for high-density PCB layouts
• Features a water-clear rectangular lens designed for broad 120-degree visibility

Applications

• Status indicators on consumer electronic devices
• Backlighting for small displays or buttons
• Visual signaling in portable instruments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific binning codes for wavelength and luminous intensity upon ordering, as these parameters can vary within the specified ranges. Confirm that the supplier provides the original manufacturer's datasheet to ensure compliance with the 0402 package dimensions and electrical characteristics defined by American Bright Optoelectronics Corporation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile green indicator is required for space-constrained designs. Ensure the driving circuit supports the 20 mA forward current requirement. Consider the 120-degree viewing angle if visibility from multiple directions is necessary, and verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the final assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BRTLED series of single-color LEDs produced by American Bright Optoelectronics Corporation. The suffix TRB indicates tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly. It is distinct from other color variants in the same package size, such as red or blue models, which share similar physical dimensions but differ in optical output and forward voltage requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 0402 green LEDs from different manufacturers only if they match the exact 1005 metric footprint, 20 mA current rating, and comparable luminous intensity. Verify pin compatibility and spectral alignment before substitution.
