HLMP-ED18-UX000

Overview

The HLMP-ED18-UX000 is a red single-color LED indicator from the Broadcom HLMP-E series. It features a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) radial through-hole package with a colorless, non-diffused round lens. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 2.4 V and a peak wavelength of 630 nm. The component delivers an intensity of 6250 mcd with a narrow viewing angle of 15 degrees. It is designed for standard mounting applications and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• High-intensity red light emission suitable for clear visibility in indicator applications
• Narrow 15-degree viewing angle provides focused directional illumination
• Standard T-1 3/4 radial lead frame construction for reliable through-hole PCB mounting

Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Power supply signaling
• Control board visual feedback

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm the forward voltage rating, as sources indicate variations between 1.9 V and 2.4 V for this family. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required binning for luminous intensity and wavelength. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor documentation prior to finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high brightness is required for a specific viewing direction due to its 15-degree beam width. The 5 mm form factor is compatible with standard drilling templates. Consider the higher forward voltage compared to lower-intensity variants when designing current-limiting resistor networks to ensure proper biasing and thermal management within the circuit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HLMP-E series of discrete LEDs manufactured by Broadcom Limited. The series offers various colors and intensities in standard through-hole packages. The HLMP-ED18-UX000 specifically targets applications requiring bright red indication with precise angular distribution, distinguishing it from wider-angle diffused variants in the same product line.

Replacement Considerations

HLMP-EG15-UX000: Similar red LED but with different intensity and voltage characteristics. HLMP-K155: Red LED with significantly lower intensity (3 mcd). Verify pin compatibility and optical axis alignment before substitution.
