HSMW-C280

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The HSMW-C280 is a white surface-mount LED from Broadcom's Chip LED series, housed in a 0402 (1005 Metric) package. It features a standard configuration with a viewing angle of 130 degrees and a maximum height of 0.50mm. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 3.3V at a test current of 20mA, resulting in a power dissipation of approximately 78mW. It utilizes a white lens to diffuse light and is designed for indicator applications requiring compact form factors.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Compact 0402 surface-mount footprint suitable for space-constrained designs
• Wide 130-degree viewing angle for broad visibility
• White diffused lens configuration for uniform light distribution

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indicators on consumer electronics
• Backlighting for small displays
• Panel illumination in portable devices

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance status prior to ordering, as manufacturing sources or material compositions may vary over time. Confirm that the 0402 package dimensions and moisture sensitivity level align with your assembly line capabilities. Ensure the white lens variant matches the required optical diffusion characteristics for your application.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile white SMD LED is required for general indication. The 0402 size offers a balance between brightness and board space efficiency. Consider the 130-degree viewing angle if wide-angle visibility is necessary. Verify thermal management requirements given the 78mW power dissipation in a small package.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Broadcom's Chip LED family, which provides various discrete LED options for industrial and consumer markets. The HSMW-C280 specifically addresses the need for white light in miniature surface-mount applications, complementing other colors in the same physical package lineup.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 0402 white LEDs from different manufacturers if supply constraints exist. Ensure replacement parts match the 0402 footprint, 3.3V forward voltage, and 130-degree viewing angle to maintain design integrity.
