SM0603SBWC

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The SM0603SBWC is a single-color blue surface-mount LED from Bivar Inc., housed in a 0603 (1608 metric) package. It emits light at a wavelength of 470 nm with a water-clear lens. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 20 mA, a forward voltage of 3 V, and a power rating of 100 mW. The component features a rectangular lens measuring 1.2 mm x 0.8 mm, a viewing angle of 130 degrees, and an operating temperature range from -30 C to +80 C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Emits ultra-blue light at 470 nm through a water-clear rectangular lens
• Designed for surface-mount technology (SMD/SMT) installation
• Provides a wide 130-degree viewing angle for effective illumination

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication on electronic circuit boards
• Panel indicator lighting
• General-purpose visual signaling in compact devices

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status before integration. Confirm that the 0603 footprint matches the target PCB design. Ensure handling procedures account for moisture sensitivity as indicated in the component specifications. Cross-reference the forward voltage requirements with the driving circuit to prevent overcurrent conditions during operation.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard blue indicator is required in a small form factor. The 0603 package offers a balance between visibility and board space efficiency. Consider the 130-degree viewing angle for applications requiring broad visibility. Ensure the driving circuit supports the specified 20 mA forward current limit for reliable performance.
