The R/G/B channels share a common anode and are controlled separately by an external driver. VF, dominant wavelength λd and luminous intensity Iv are tested at 5mA; the typical viewing angle of 120° is specified at 10mA. Refer to the same-model datasheet on this page for complete specifications, pin definitions and process conditions.
Q: What should be considered when placing and reflow soldering this tri-color LED?
A: This part uses a four-pad 0805 package. Follow the recommended pad layout and pin orientation on page 2 of the datasheet; stencil and placement orientation must match the pads. Page 7 recommends a reflow temperature of 245℃±5℃, a maximum of 260℃, and no more than 1 reflow cycle. Apply temperature, time, heating and cooling rates according to the complete profile; do not use the generic statement that it supports two reflow cycles.

Forward Voltage and Wavelength Quick Reference by Color
Voltage varies significantly between colors in the same package. Select current-limiting resistors using the values for the specific color:
| Emission Color | Wavelength Range | Forward Voltage | Chip Material |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red | 620~630nm | 1.8~2.4V | GaASP/GaP |

Q: Is this tri-color LED common anode or common cathode, and how should it be connected?
A: HC-S2012CHBGRTF-F1 on this page is a common-anode model. Connect the common anode to a suitable supply and each color cathode to its corresponding current-limiting/constant-current driver branch. Whether an MCU can drive it directly depends on its current-sinking capability, logic-level compatibility and total port current, rather than high/low logic levels alone.
Q: Can red, green and blue share one current-limiting resistor?
A: Not recommended. The three channels have different forward voltages and their active combinations change. Use an independent current-limiting resistor for each channel or a three-channel constant-current driver. Resistor estimates must account for supply voltage, voltage tolerances and driver voltage drop; do not calculate all three colors using the same VF.
Q: How are color and brightness controlled?
A: An external driver can control the R/G/B branches separately, adjusting brightness and color-mixing ratios using appropriate current or PWM duty cycles. Driving all three channels simultaneously at equal current does not guarantee white balance; calibrate color mixing using actual samples, light guide structures and control software.
Q: What do 5mA and 120° in the table mean?
A: VF, dominant wavelength λd and luminous intensity Iv are tested at 5mA; 120° is the typical viewing angle at 10mA. Typical luminous intensity is not a guaranteed value. The 25mA specified in the datasheet is an absolute maximum rating and must not be treated directly as the recommended continuous operating current.
Ordering and Inquiry Information
SMD models use tape-and-reel packaging (quantity per reel is subject to the corresponding datasheet), with minimum orders in full reels.
