Description
This series of bi-color ChipLEDs
is designed with the smallest
footprint to achieve high density
of components on board. They
have the industry standard
footprint of 1.6 mm x 0.8 mm
and a height of only 0.5 mm. This
makes them very suitable for
cellular phone and mobile

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 Chromatically 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.
4. The product testing is based on 20 mA. This is for reference purpose.
Notes:
1. VF Tolerance: ± 0.1 V.
2. The product testing is based on 20 mA. This is for reference only.
