0602 Side-Emitting Dual-Color SMD LEDs An LED in a 0602 package, designed as a side-emitting SMD LED with a forward voltage of 1.8~3.4V (depending on emission color) and 20mA-class drive. Supports fully automatic SMT assembly and reflow soldering. Factory-direct from Dongguan Hongcheng Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. (an international member of Guangyu Group with over 20 years of LED packaging experience), it uses Grade A chips and 99.99% pure gold wire bonding and is RoHS certified. Free samples and custom brightness binning, color-temperature binning and tape packaging are available. Download the datasheet PDF on this page for complete electrical parameters and mounting dimensions.
Q: Can free samples be provided for testing?
A: Yes. Samples of standard models are free and ship within 3-4 working days, with datasheets included. Small pilot production runs are available for validation before volume orders.
Q: What placement-machine accuracy does this LED require?
A: This product uses a 0602 package (1.6×0.6mm). Conventional high-speed placement machines (±0.1mm-class accuracy) can place it reliably. Its multiple-pad structure requires each stencil aperture to align with its corresponding pad. Supports lead-free reflow soldering (peak ≤260℃/≤3s).
