020 Side-emitting Tri-color LEDs A side-emitting SMD LED with a forward voltage of 1.8~3.4V (depending on emission color) and 20mA-class drive. Supports fully automated placement and reflow soldering. Supplied directly by Dongguan Hongcheng Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. (an international member of Guangyu Group, with over 20 years of LED packaging experience). Uses A-grade chips and 99.99% pure gold wire bonding, with RoHS certification. Free samples and custom brightness bins, color-temperature bins and tape-and-reel packaging are available. Download the datasheet PDF on this page for complete electrical specifications and mounting dimensions.
Q: What placement-machine accuracy does this LED require?
A: This product uses a miniature 020 package (0.6×0.3mm), requiring a high-precision placement machine with positioning accuracy within ±0.05mm, a precision laser-cut stencil and miniature pickup nozzle. Its multiple-pad structure requires each stencil aperture to align with its corresponding pad. Supports lead-free reflow soldering (peak ≤260℃/≤3s).
