HSMA-C680

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The HSMA-C680 is a single-color amber surface-mount LED with a clear lens, emitting at a peak wavelength of 591 nm. It features a right-angle chip design within a compact 3.0 mm × 1.0 mm × 2.0 mm footprint. The device delivers a typical luminous intensity of 76.9 mcd and operates with a forward voltage of approximately 2V. Designed for space-constrained applications, it utilizes a lead-free SMD package suitable for automated assembly processes.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Right-angle illumination design for directional visibility
• Compact surface-mount footprint optimized for limited space
• Clear lens construction for consistent light transmission

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Space-constrained electronic indicator panels
• Right-angle status indication in consumer devices
• Surface-mounted signal lighting in telecommunications equipment

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version (e.g., AV02-0481EN) to confirm current reliability data and testing conditions. Ensure that the right-angle orientation matches the mechanical design requirements. Confirm compliance with RoHS standards as indicated in official documentation before integration into final products.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when right-angle light emission is required within a small form factor. Compare the 76.9 mcd intensity against application visibility needs. Consider the 2V forward voltage drop in circuit design. Verify that the 3.0 mm length fits within the available PCB area constraints.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the HSMx-C680 series of right-angle surface-mount chip LEDs from Broadcom. The series is engineered for applications where standard top-emitting LEDs do not fit the spatial or optical requirements. It shares the same physical dimensions and optical characteristics as other variants within the C680 family.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other HSMx-C680 series variants such as HSMC-C680 or HSM9-C680, provided they match the right-angle configuration and amber color specifications. Verify pin compatibility and mounting orientation before substitution.
