Description
These chip type LEDs utilize
Aluminium Indium Galium
Phosphide (AlInGaP) material
technology. The AlInGaP material
has a very high luminous
efficiency, capable of producing
high light output over a wide
range of drive currents. The
available colors in this surface
mount series are 592 nm Amber,
605 nm Orange, 626 nm Red and
639 nm Deep Red.
All packages are binned by both
color and intensity, except for red
and deep red color.
These ChipLEDs come either in
low profile top emitting packages
(HSMx-C177/C197), in a side
emitting package (HSMx-C120)
or in a reverse mount package
(HSMx-C265). The right angle
ChipLED is suitable for applica-
tions such as LCD back lighting.
The top emitting ChipLEDs with
wide viewing angle are suitable
for light piping and direct back-
lighting of keypads and panels.
The reverse mount ChipLED is
suitable for space saving.
In order to facilitate pick and
place operation, these ChipLEDs
are shipped in tape and reel, with
4000 units per reel for HSMx-
C120/C177/C197 and 3000 units
per reel for HSMx-C265.
These packages are compatible
with IR soldering process.

Notes:
1. The luminous intensity, IV, is measured at the peak of the spatial radiation pattern which may not be aligned with the mechanical axis of the lamp package.
2. The dominant wavelength, λd, is derived from the CIE Chromaticity Diagram and represents the perceived color of the device.
3. θ1/2 is the off-axis angle where the luminous intensity is 1/2 the peak intensity.
