Additional Details:

Typical specifications for the SSL-LX5573ID includes a forward voltage of around 2.0V, a forward current of approximately 20mA, and a viewing angle typically between 120 and 140 degrees. The luminous intensity generally ranges from several hundred millicandelas (mcd) to a few candelas. Surface mount device (SMD), requiring reflow soldering for attachment. It’s crucial to consult the Lumex datasheet for the recommended PCB footprint and reflow soldering profile. The operating temperature range is typically between -40°C and +85°C. The epoxy lens is designed to optimize light output and directivity. The materials used are selected for thermal stability and resistance to environmental factors encountered during reflow soldering and operation. Further details are available in the official Lumex datasheet.
