Additional Details

The SML-512UWT86R is an ultra-white LED, meaning it emits light with a correlated color temperature (CCT) that appears white to the human eye. The specific luminous intensity, forward voltage, and viewing angle can be found in the Rohm Semiconductor datasheet. The surface-mount package allows for automated assembly, reducing manufacturing costs and improving production efficiency. This LED is typically used in applications where a small, bright, and reliable light source is needed.

The '86R' suffix likely refers to a specific taping specification for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. It's important to consult the datasheet for details on the packaging and handling requirements. This LED is often used in consumer electronics, automotive applications, and industrial equipment. Proper current limiting is essential to prevent damage to the LED and ensure long-term reliability.
