Blue 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).

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

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.
