HLMP-EG08-T0000

Overview

The HLMP-EG08-T0000 is a single-color red light-emitting diode from the Broadcom HLMP-E series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) lens with a clear, non-diffused surface and a circular shape. The device emits light at a peak wavelength of 626 nm with an 8-degree viewing angle. Key electrical parameters include a typical forward voltage of 1.9 V and a maximum forward current of 50 mA. Optical performance specifications list a luminous intensity of 12.6 cd and a luminous flux of 500 mcd under standard test conditions.

Feature Summary

• Features a well-defined spatial radiation pattern with an 8-degree viewing angle for focused light emission.
• Utilizes a clear, non-diffused T-1 3/4 lens to maintain beam integrity and high luminous output.
• Constructed with a two-pin axial lead configuration suitable for standard through-hole PCB assembly.

Applications

• General-purpose indicator lights in electronic equipment
• Status indication on control panels and instrumentation
• Visual signaling in consumer appliances

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by cross-referencing the manufacturer part number against official Broadcom documentation. Ensure that the ordering suffix matches the specific optical and electrical requirements of the design. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the target market. Check for any recent product lifecycle notices or obsolescence warnings directly from the supplier before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow beam angle is required for precise visual indication. The 8-degree viewing angle distinguishes it from wider-angle variants within the same package family. Consider the 1.9 V forward voltage drop for power supply calculations. Ensure the mechanical dimensions of the T-1 3/4 package fit the available board space and mounting constraints.

Part Context

This LED belongs to the HLMP-E series, which offers various colors and viewing angles in the T-1 3/4 package. The HLMP-EG08-T0000 specifically provides red emission at 626 nm. Other variants in the series may offer different wavelengths such as amber or orange, or wider viewing angles like 15 or 30 degrees, allowing designers to choose based on visibility requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include other HLMP-EG08 variants with different suffixes, such as those offering 15 or 30-degree viewing angles. Verify that any replacement maintains the same T-1 3/4 package size and pin configuration. Cross-check forward voltage and current ratings to ensure compatibility with existing drive circuits.

FAQ
