Broadcom 2.6 V Green LED 0402 Surface Chip LED HSMG-C280

Broadcom Chip LED Series LED, 572nm Dominant Wavelength, 25mA Maximum Forward Current - HSMG-C280

This LED is a surface-mount green light source designed for Compact electronic assemblies, providing visible indication and illumination functions in low-power systems. It operates within common small-package environments and is supplied in a tape-and-reel format suitable for automated placement.

Features and Benefits:

• Operates at 2.6V forward voltage for predictable drive requirements
  Supports up to 25mA forward current for brighter signalling
  Emits at 572nm dominant Wavelength for green output
  Offers 130° viewing angle for wide-area visibility
  Limits power dissipation to 60mW for low-power designs
  Complies with RoHS for restricted-substance conformity

Applications

• Used for indicator lamps on handheld instrumentation
  Suitable for status LEDs in Compact consumer electronics
  Ideal for signal arrays in low-power control panels
  Can be used for backlighting in small displays
  Used with automated pick-and-place due to tape-and-reel

What packaging format facilitates high-volume assembly?

It is supplied on tape-and-reel to match automated placement equipment.

What optical characteristic defines its perceived colour?

The dominant Wavelength is 572nm, corresponding to a green emission.

How does the package suit space-constrained boards?

The component uses a 0402 rectangular chip package and a clear lens for a minimal board footprint.

What operating limit should be observed to avoid thermal stress?

Maximum power dissipation is 60mW and should not be exceeded during operation.
