BL-HKC36G-AV-TRB

Overview

The BL-HKC36G-AV-TRB is a surface-mount LED component manufactured by American Bright Optoelectronics Corporation. It features a yellow/amber light emission with a peak wavelength of 570nm. The device utilizes a 0603 package measuring 1.60 x 0.80mm with a height of 0.40mm. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 1.8V and a forward current rating of 5mA, with a power dissipation limit of 50mW. It offers a luminous intensity of 10mcd and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Yellow/amber light emission for status indication
• Compact 0603 surface-mount form factor
• Standard single-diode circuit configuration

Applications

• Key pad lighting in consumer electronics
• Indicator lights for household appliances
• Status display on network equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer datasheet for specific binning requirements regarding chromaticity coordinates and forward voltage thresholds. Confirm that the tape and reel packaging specifications align with automated pick-and-place machine capabilities. Ensure storage conditions comply with moisture sensitivity level ratings to prevent soldering defects during reflow processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact yellow or amber indicator is required for space-constrained designs. Consider the 1.8V forward voltage drop relative to the driving logic levels. Evaluate the 10mcd brightness against ambient lighting conditions to ensure visibility. Verify thermal management needs given the 50mW power dissipation constraint in enclosed assemblies.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BRTLED series of surface-mount LEDs designed for general indication purposes. It shares the standard 0603 footprint common across various color options from the manufacturer. The AV suffix typically denotes specific optical and electrical characteristics consistent with automotive-grade reliability standards for dashboard and signal applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 0603 yellow/amber LEDs from different manufacturers provided they match the 1.6x0.8mm footprint and similar electrical parameters. Cross-reference pinout configurations and spectral output curves to ensure functional equivalence in existing PCB layouts.
