The **GHB-PLCC-R2** is a specific model of a Light Emitting Diode (LED) manufactured by **American Opto Plus**. It is a high-performance surface-mount device (SMD) often used in indicators, backlighting, and general illumination. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the primary electrical and optical characteristics of the GHB-PLCC-R2: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Type** | SMD LED (PLCC-2 Package) | | **Color** | Blue | | **Dominant Wavelength** | 470 nm | | **Luminous Intensity** | ~180 - 450 mcd (typical) | | **Forward Voltage ($V_F$)** | 3.2V - 3.5V | | **Forward Current ($I_F$)** | 20mA | | **Viewing Angle** | 120 Degrees | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +85°C | --- ### 2. Key Features The "PLCC" in the part number refers to the **Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier** housing. Key features include: * **Reliability:** The PLCC-2 package is known for its robustness and resistance to environmental stress. * **Uniformity:** Provides a wide viewing angle (120°) which is ideal for uniform backlighting. * **InGaN Technology:** Built using Indium Gallium Nitride (InGaN) on Sapphire, which allows for high-brightness output in the blue spectrum. * **SMD Compatibility:** Designed for automated pick-and-place equipment and IR reflow soldering. --- ### 3. Pin Configuration and Dimensions The device typically follows the standard PLCC-2 footprint: * **Anode (+):** Identified by a small notch or "cut-off" corner on the package. * **Cathode (-):** The opposite terminal. * **Physical Size:** 3.5mm x 2.8mm x 1.9mm. --- ### 4. Application Areas Because of its compact size and high brightness, the GHB-PLCC-R2 is commonly used in: 1. **Automotive:** Dashboard lighting and interior switches. 2. **Consumer Electronics:** Status indicators on appliances or network routers. 3. **Industrial:** Control panel illumination and signal lights. 4. **Signage:** Channel letters and backlight modules for LCD displays.
