markdownBlue SMD LED 0402 - Inolux IN-S42ATB
Inolux Corporation IN-S42ATB: 0402 SMD Blue LED, 3.1 V drop, 25 mA max. An Adom Basic Part: Adom keeps it on reels for its pick-and-place line, so boards built with it draw on Adom stock.

Notes for designers
IN-S42ATB is the blue member of Inolux's IN-S42AT series: a low-profile 0402 top-view indicator LED in a clear, PCB-type moulded package. (p.1) The die is InGaN (p.7) at a dominant wavelength of 470 nm, returning 100 mcd at the 20 mA test point. (p.3)
The number to respect is the forward-voltage spread: 3.1 V typ but up to 4.0 V max. (p.3) On a 3.3 V rail a typical part leaves 0.2 V for the resistor and a high-VF part will not reach rated current at all, treat this as a 5 V-rail part, where (5 − 3.1) / 0.02 = 95 Ω sets the full 20 mA. Use a current-limiting resistor, the datasheet asks for one explicitly (p.12), and keep continuous current at or below 25 mA. (p.2)
Blue is the only member of the series with a 120° viewing angle rather than 130° (p.3), still a wide-angle indicator. InGaN chips are static-sensitive devices, so ESD precautions apply in design and assembly, (p.2) and reverse voltage is rated to only 5 V. (p.2)
Footprint
Redrawn from the datasheet land pattern (the previous pads were off by up to 0.2 mm).
Source: Land pattern from Inolux IN-S42AT series datasheet, p.1 (Recommended Solder Pattern).
| mm | Datasheet | KiCad standard (LED_0402_1005Metric) | Previous | This page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pad length (along the part) | 0.4 | 0.59 | 0.6 | 0.4 |
| Pad width | 0.6 | 0.64 | 0.5 | 0.6 |
| Gap between pads | 0.6 | 0.38 | 0.4 | 0.6 |
| Centre to centre | 1 | 0.97 | 1 | 1 |
| Overall | 1.4 | 1.56 | 1.6 | 1.4 |
| Corner radius | not specified | 0.1475 (ratio 0.25) | 0.125 (ratio 0.25) | square (as drawn) |
| Corners: square, as the datasheet draws them. The datasheet does not call for rounded corners, so the footprint does not add any. |
Polarity: pad 1 = K (cathode, -X), pad 2 = A, matching the symbol (K = pin 1, A = pin 2) and the datasheet's cathode mark; the silkscreen bracket marks the cathode end.
Chip outline
The part's 3D outline in the standard pose (pad 1 toward the viewer), drawn from the STEP by Adom's OpenCascade service; the part number sits where the laser-etched mark is on the 3D model and reads the same way.
Symbol options
The default symbol, IN-S42ATB.kicad_sym (the one in the Symbol & Footprint panel), is the plain standard symbol. IN-S42ATB-outline.kicad_sym is the same symbol with the part's 3D chip outline drawn beside it, its part number placed and reading as on the 3D model.
