IN-S42DS5Y

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The IN-S42DS5Y is a yellow surface-mount LED from Inolux, designed for discrete indication. It features a side-view configuration with a clear lens and operates at a forward voltage of 2 to 2.4 volts DC. The component emits light at a wavelength of 589 nm with a luminous intensity of 18 mcd. It utilizes a standard 0402 (1005 metric) package measuring 1.0 x 0.3 x 0.55 mm. The device offers a wide viewing angle of 145 degrees and requires a test current of 5 mA.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Side-view optical configuration for visibility on populated boards
• Clear lens design for direct light transmission
• Wide 145-degree viewing angle for broad illumination coverage

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication in compact electronic devices
• Panel indicator lights for consumer electronics
• Signal illumination in small form-factor circuitry

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements against your design specifications to ensure compatibility with assembly processes. Confirm that the 0402 footprint matches your PCB layout constraints. Check moisture sensitivity level handling procedures if the component has been exposed to ambient conditions beyond manufacturer recommendations. Ensure that the forward voltage range aligns with your driving circuit capabilities.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, side-emitting yellow LED is required for space-constrained designs. The 0402 package size supports high-density mounting applications. Consider the 145-degree viewing angle for applications requiring wide-area visibility. Verify that the 2 to 2.4 V forward voltage range is compatible with your system's logic levels or driver circuits.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Inolux's SMD LED portfolio, specifically within the 0402 package family. It serves as a compact solution for status indication where traditional top-view LEDs may not fit the mechanical envelope. The side-view orientation distinguishes it from standard surface-mount indicators, offering flexibility in board layout and enclosure design.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 0402 side-view form factor, yellow color, and similar electrical characteristics. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal management requirements before substitution. Cross-reference datasheets for forward voltage and luminous intensity tolerances to ensure functional equivalence in the target application.
