Würth Elektronik SMD RGB LED, Waterclear, 120°, Round Lens

The Würth Elektronik SMD RGB LED is a versatile and efficient light source designed for modern electronic applications. Featuring a mono-colour waterclear lens and an SMD (Surface-Mount Device) package, this LED is engineered for reliability and performance in space-constrained designs. Its compact black surface outline ensures a low-profile installation, making it ideal for backlighting and lateral coupling within light guides.

This LED excels with its individual RGB (Red, Green, Blue) control, allowing for precise colour mixing and dynamic lighting effects. The component operates with low current requirements and delivers high brightness output, contributing to energy-efficient systems. Key benefits include fast switching speeds, high reliability, and the absence of UV or IR radiation, ensuring safe operation for sensitive applications.

Technical Excellence

With a wide 120-degree viewing angle and a round lens shape, it provides excellent light dispersion. Each colour channel is independently driven, requiring a forward current of 30mA per colour. The luminous intensity is notably high, with red at 270 millicandelas (mcd), green at 950 mcd, and blue at 230 mcd, ensuring vibrant and visible output.

Constructed using AlInGaP/InGaN technology, this LED is part of a robust product range suitable for demanding environments. A critical note for assembly: washing varnish agents used in production to clean customer applications may damage or alter the characteristics of the LED body, pins, or termination, so appropriate handling is advised.

Applications

This component is perfectly suited for use in consumer electronics, general LED lighting fixtures, and various industrial applications where compact, bright, and controllable illumination is required.
