IN-S42ATG is the green 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 InGaNp.7 at a dominant wavelength of 525 nm, and at 450 mcd typ it is the brightest coloured member of the series at the 20 mA test point.p.3
Forward voltage is 3.3 V typ, up to 4.0 V maxp.3 — on a 3.3 V rail there is zero headroom even for a typical part, so this is a 5 V-rail LED: (5 − 3.3) / 0.02 = 85 Ω for the full 20 mA. Use a current-limiting resistor — the datasheet asks for one explicitlyp.12 — and keep continuous current at or below 25 mA.p.2 At 450 mcd most status lights want far less than the test current anyway.
The 130° viewing anglep.3 makes it a wide-angle panel indicator, reverse voltage is rated to only 5 V,p.2 and InGaN chips are static-sensitive devices.p.2 One doc quirk: the ordering table lists 360 mcd typical where the electrical table says 450 mcdp.7, p.3 — this page quotes the electrical-characteristics value.
