BL-HJE37A-AV-TRB

Overview

The BL-HJE37A-AV-TRB is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by American Bright Optoelectronics Corporation. It features a red light emission with a peak wavelength of 630 nm housed in a 0402 (1005 metric) package. The component operates at a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2 V, resulting in a power rating of 52 mW. It provides an optical intensity of 100 mcd with a water-clear rectangular lens. The device supports infrared and vapor phase reflow soldering processes.

Feature Summary

• Compatible with automatic placement equipment and all SMT assembly methods
• Features a water-clear lens appearance for optimal light transmission
• Complies with RoHS standards for environmental safety

Applications

• Status indicators in consumer electronics
• Dashboard illumination in automotive lighting
• General use indicator applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct reel packaging configuration matches your production requirements. Confirm that the 0402 footprint aligns with your PCB design guidelines. Check datasheet specifications for reverse voltage tolerance and thermal management during soldering to prevent component damage. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives for your target market regulations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact red indicator is required for high-density circuit boards. The 0402 package size offers space efficiency compared to larger through-hole alternatives. Consider the 630 nm wavelength for visibility requirements and the 20 mA drive current for standard logic interface compatibility. Evaluate the 100 mcd intensity against ambient lighting conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BL-Hx series of standard SMD LEDs from American Bright Optoelectronics Corporation. The series is designed for general-purpose indication and backlighting applications. These components are engineered for reliability in both consumer and industrial environments, offering consistent performance across various operating temperatures.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 0402 red LEDs from different manufacturers if supply constraints exist. Verify mechanical dimensions, spectral characteristics, and electrical parameters before substitution. Ensure the alternative component supports the same reflow soldering profiles and mounting techniques.
