LED1202

LED1202 is a high-efficiency surface-mount light-emitting diode (LED) manufactured by STMicroelectronics, designed for optimal performance in low-power and high-brightness applications. It features a compact 1202 package size (3.2 mm × 2.5 mm), enabling space-efficient integration into densely populated printed circuit boards. The device operates with a typical forward voltage of 2.8 V at 20 mA, offering consistent luminous output across a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C, making it suitable for both industrial and consumer environments. This LED employs advanced GaN-on-Si technology, resulting in enhanced thermal stability and extended operational life exceeding 50,000 hours under continuous operation. Its emission spectrum is centered around 565 nm, producing a bright yellow-green color ideal for status indicators, backlighting, and signage applications. The LED’s viewing angle is approximately 120°, ensuring broad visibility without the need for additional optics or diffusers. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward current of 30 mA, peak pulse current capability up to 100 mA, and low reverse voltage tolerance of 5 V, which supports reliable operation in transient conditions. The device is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, aligning with environmental standards for sustainable electronics manufacturing. Additionally, its lead-free construction meets IPC/JEDEC standards for soldering reliability in automated assembly processes. The LED1202 is commonly used in consumer electronics such as smartphones, smart home devices, and wearable tech where compact size and energy efficiency are critical. In industrial settings, it serves as a visual indicator in power supplies, medical instruments, and automotive control modules due to its robustness and long-term reliability. It also finds application in outdoor lighting systems like traffic signals and architectural accent lighting, thanks to its high brightness and resistance to environmental stressors such as humidity and vibration. STMicroelectronics ensures quality through rigorous testing protocols, including accelerated life testing, thermal cycling, and mechanical shock resistance verification. This guarantees consistent performance even in demanding environments. With its combination of small footprint, high efficiency, and durability, the LED1202 delivers an excellent balance between cost-effectiveness and performance for modern electronic designs requiring reliable and efficient illumination solutions.
