The 150060GS84000 is a high-intensity, surface-mount (SMT) mono-color chip LED manufactured by Wurth Elektronik. This component features an InGaN chip technology that emits green light with a dominant wavelength of 525nm. The lens type is waterclear, providing a broad viewing angle of 40°, which is ideal for applications requiring wide visibility.
This LED operates within a forward voltage range of 3.3V to 3.9V at a standard test current of 20mA, making it compatible with a wide range of electronic circuits. It is designed to handle a peak forward current of 30mA and a continuous forward current of 20mA, with a power dissipation of 78mW. The component's ESD threshold is rated at 1000V (HBM), ensuring robustness against electrostatic discharges.
LED
LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are semiconductor devices that emit light when an electric current passes through them. They are widely used in various applications due to their efficiency, long life, and compact size. LEDs come in different colors, sizes, and intensities, making them suitable for a wide range of lighting and signaling applications.
When selecting an LED for a project, important parameters to consider include the wavelength or color of the light, forward voltage, luminous intensity, viewing angle, and current handling capabilities. The choice of LED depends on the application's requirements, such as the desired brightness, power consumption, and environmental conditions.
LEDs offer advantages over traditional lighting sources, including lower energy consumption, longer operational life, improved physical robustness, and faster switching. They are found in a wide array of applications, from simple indicator lights to complex displays and general lighting solutions.
The design and selection of LEDs require careful consideration of thermal management, drive current, and optical characteristics to ensure optimal performance and reliability. Engineers must also consider the LED's packaging and mounting style, as these can affect the ease of integration into circuits and the overall aesthetic of the final product.
