SM0603AC

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Bivar SM0603AC is a single-color surface-mount LED in the 0603 (1608 metric) package. It emits amber light at a wavelength of 607 nm with a water-clear lens. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 20 mA, a forward voltage of 2 V, and a power rating of 78 mW. The component features a rectangular lens shape measuring 2 mm x 1.6 mm and offers a viewing angle of 130 degrees. It operates within a temperature range of -30°C to +80°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Emits amber light with a 607 nm peak wavelength
• Features a water-clear rectangular lens for visibility
• Designed for surface-mount technology (SMD/SMT) installation

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication on electronic circuit boards
• Panel indicator lights
• General-purpose visual signaling devices

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the SM0603AC to confirm exact optical intensity values and tolerance ranges. Ensure compatibility with standard SMD reflow soldering profiles. Check for moisture sensitivity classification requirements prior to assembly. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when an amber indicator is required in a compact 0603 footprint. Consider the 20 mA forward current requirement for driver circuit design. Evaluate the 2 V forward voltage drop against available supply rails. The 130-degree viewing angle supports broad visibility applications without requiring precise alignment.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Bivar's SM series of single-color LEDs. The series includes various colors and package sizes such as 0603 and 1206. The SM0603AC specifically utilizes the smaller 0603 form factor compared to larger variants like the SM1206AC. It is categorized under general-purpose indication LEDs rather than high-power or specialized UV applications.
