EAST2012YA2

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The EAST2012YA2 is a single-color surface-mount LED from Everlight Electronics, designed for PCB top-view applications. It utilizes AlGaInP material to emit brilliant yellow light with a dominant wavelength of 589nm and a peak wavelength of 591nm. The component features a rectangular lens with a water-clear finish and operates at a test current of 20mA. It provides a viewing angle of 140 degrees and has a typical forward voltage of 2.05V. The device is housed in an 0805 (2012 metric) package measuring 2.00mm x 1.25mm with a maximum height of 1.10mm.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Top-view configuration suitable for direct visual indication
• Compact 0805 surface-mount footprint for high-density mounting
• Brilliant yellow emission with wide 140-degree viewing angle

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indicator lights on electronic devices
• Backlighting for switches and symbols
• General-purpose visual signaling in consumer electronics

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to ensure correct binning and packaging specifications. Confirm that the requested variant matches the required electrical characteristics and lens transparency. Check for RoHS compliance status as defined in the official documentation. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability for the component lot.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, top-emitting yellow indicator is required for space-constrained designs. The 0805 package offers a balance between visibility and board area efficiency. Consider the 140-degree viewing angle for applications requiring broad visibility without precise alignment. Verify thermal management requirements based on the specified forward voltage and test current parameters.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Everlight's SMD LED series, which focuses on miniaturization and automated assembly compatibility. The 0805 form factor is widely used in portable electronics and industrial control panels where standard through-hole components are too large. The series emphasizes lead-free manufacturing processes to meet environmental regulations.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 0805 yellow LEDs from manufacturers such as Kingbright or Osram, provided they match the 589nm dominant wavelength and 2.00x1.25mm dimensions. Verify pinout compatibility and forward voltage tolerance before substitution.
