IN-S42DS5UW

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The IN-S42DS5UW is a white light-emitting diode from Inolux, designed for surface-mount applications in the 0402 (1005 Metric) package. It features a side-view configuration with a rectangular lens and flat top style. The component operates at a typical forward voltage of 2.9V and emits light with an intensity of 200mcd when tested at 5mA. The viewing angle is specified as 140 or 150 degrees, providing wide dispersion. Physical dimensions are 1.0mm in length, 0.55mm in width, and a maximum height of 0.3mm. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Side-view emission geometry for visibility on vertical surfaces
• Compact 0402 footprint suitable for space-constrained designs
• Wide viewing angle for broad light distribution
• RoHS compliant construction

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication on mobile devices
• Backlighting for small electronic displays
• Indicator lights in wearable technology
• LED arrays in compact consumer electronics

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the IN-S42DS5UW to confirm exact luminous intensity tolerances and forward voltage ranges, as these can vary between manufacturing lots. Ensure that the selected packaging option matches the assembly line requirements, noting that availability may differ between tape-and-reel and cut-strip formats. Confirm compliance with RoHS3 standards if required by the end-product regulations.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, side-emitting white LED is required for vertical panel mounting. The 0402 size offers a balance between brightness and minimal board space usage. Consider the 140-150 degree viewing angle for applications requiring wide-area illumination rather than focused beams. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C meets the environmental conditions of the target device.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the IN-S42DS series of side-view SMD LEDs from Inolux. The series is characterized by its small footprint and high brightness relative to package size. It is distinct from the IN-S42BT series, which typically features top-view configurations. The IN-S42DS series is engineered for modern portable electronics where space is limited but visibility is critical.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0402 side-view white LEDs from manufacturers such as Kingbright or Everlight, provided they match the 1.0x0.55x0.3mm dimensions and pinout compatibility. Verify that the replacement part maintains similar forward voltage and luminous intensity specifications to ensure consistent performance in the circuit.
