HSMA-C400

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

HSMA-C400 is a side-fire mono-color surface-mount chip LED manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It utilizes AlInGaP technology to produce amber light with a peak wavelength of 592 nm. The component features a rectangular lens and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 20 mA, a forward voltage of 1.9 V, and a power rating of 60 mW. The optical intensity is rated at 90 mcd.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Side-fire emission geometry for directional visibility
• Amber color output via AlInGaP semiconductor material
• Surface-mount package design for automated assembly

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Industrial equipment status indicators
• Consumer appliance control panels

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with Broadcom or authorized distributors before integration. Confirm that the amber wavelength specification meets the exact visual requirements of the target application. Ensure handling procedures align with standard ESD precautions for surface-mount components.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, side-emitting amber indicator is required. The low forward voltage and moderate current consumption make it suitable for battery-operated devices. Verify that the mechanical footprint matches the PCB layout constraints and that the side-fire viewing angle satisfies the visibility needs of the enclosure design.
