The LTQ39G-Q100-25-1 from Osram Opto is a surface-mount technology (SMT) LED encapsulated in a 0603 package with a colorless diffused resin. It utilizes InGaN on Sapphire chip technology to produce a true green light with a dominant wavelength (λdom) of 530 nm. This LED is designed to provide a wide viewing angle with typical horizontal and vertical values of 170° and 130° respectively, ensuring uniform light distribution across a broad area.
This component is characterized by its robustness against corrosion (Class 3B) and its ability to withstand electrostatic discharge (ESD) up to 1 kV according to ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 (HBM). It operates within a forward current of up to 15 mA and exhibits a forward voltage typically at 2.85V. These features make the LTQ39G-Q100-25-1 suitable for a wide range of applications including electronic equipment, white goods, and gaming or amusement devices.
LED
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are semiconductor devices that convert electrical energy directly into light. They are widely used in various applications due to their efficiency, longevity, and compact size. LEDs emit light when an electric current flows through them, and the color of the light is determined by the material used in the semiconductor.
When selecting an LED for a project, several factors should be considered including the desired color, brightness, viewing angle, and power requirements. The package size and mounting type (such as surface mount or through-hole) are also important considerations. LEDs are available in a range of colors, including the full spectrum of visible light as well as infrared and ultraviolet.
LEDs are used in a wide array of applications from simple indicator lights to complex displays. Their high efficiency and low power consumption make them suitable for battery-powered devices, while their long lifespan reduces the need for frequent replacements. The ability to control the brightness and color of LEDs through electrical modulation also makes them ideal for dynamic lighting solutions.
In addition to these practical considerations, it's also important to consider the operating and storage temperatures, as well as the maximum forward current and voltage. These parameters ensure the LED operates within its intended performance range, maintaining its efficiency and lifespan.
