White SMD LED 0402 - Inolux IN-S42ATUW

Inolux Corporation IN-S42ATUW: 0402 SMD White 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-S42ATUW is the white member of Inolux's IN-S42AT series, and the one variant with a diffused lens, the 'U' in the part number is the lens code. (p.8) The die is InGaN, (p.7) and being white there is no dominant wavelength: the colour is specified as CIE chromaticity x = 0.295 / y = 0.30 (p.3) and binned across five regions, R27-R31. (p.4)

Budget 3.1 V typ (up to 4.0 V max) at the 20 mA test point and it returns 600 mcd, the brightest part in the series. (p.3) The VF spread makes it a 5 V-rail part in practice: (5 − 3.1) / 0.02 = 95 Ω for the full 20 mA, and a backlight or indicator will usually run well below that. Use a current-limiting resistor, the datasheet asks for one explicitly (p.12), and keep continuous current at or below 25 mA. (p.2)

The diffused lens plus 130° viewing angle (p.3) make it a soft, wide-angle source rather than a spot. Reverse voltage is rated to only 5 V, (p.2) and InGaN chips are static-sensitive devices, ESD precautions apply in design and assembly. (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
Gap between pads 0.6 0.38 0.4 0.6

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-S42ATUW.kicad_sym (the one in the Symbol & Footprint panel), is the plain standard symbol. IN-S42ATUW-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.
