HSME-C120

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The HSME-C120 is a green single-color LED from Broadcom Limited, utilizing InGaN technology. It features a rectangular lens with a clear, colorless appearance and measures 1.20 mm x 0.60 mm. The component operates at a peak wavelength of 570 nm and a dominant wavelength of 572 nm. Typical forward voltage is 2.1 V at a test current of 20 mA, with a maximum power dissipation of 52 mW. Optical intensity reaches 52 mcd, supported by a wide viewing angle of 155 degrees. It is designed for surface mount installation in a 2-SMD, no-lead package.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Compact SMD form factor compatible with standard automated assembly processes
• Wide 155-degree viewing angle for enhanced visibility
• RoHS3 compliant construction without REACH restrictions

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• General status indication on electronic circuit boards
• Backlighting for LCD displays
• Symbol illumination on control panels
• Button backlighting in consumer devices

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the correct reel quantity and tape configuration required for your manufacturing line. Ensure the component meets RoHS3 standards if environmental compliance is mandatory for your product. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 2A) handling procedures are followed during storage and reflow soldering to prevent package damage.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact green indicator with high brightness is required. The 155-degree viewing angle makes it suitable for applications where direct line-of-sight is not guaranteed. Verify that the 2.1V forward voltage aligns with your drive circuit capabilities and that the 52mW power rating fits within your thermal management constraints.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the HSME-C1xx series of green LEDs from Broadcom Limited. It shares the same physical footprint and mounting style as other variants in the family but differs in optical characteristics such as wavelength and intensity. It is distinct from the HSMC and HSMR series which may have different lens shapes or emission angles.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other HSME-C1xx series parts with matching electrical parameters. Cross-referencing with similar 0603 green LEDs requires verification of forward voltage and luminous intensity to ensure functional equivalence in the target application.
