Spectral Distribution

Emission Spectrum — Relative Intensity vs. Wavelength

605nm FWHM ~20nm 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% Relative Intensity 500 540 580 620 660 700 Wavelength (nm)
Amber emission centered at 605nm dominant wavelength (610nm peak). The narrow spectral width (~20nm FWHM) indicates a well-defined color output typical of AlInGaP LEDs.

Forward Current vs. Forward Voltage

IV Characteristic — the essential curve for circuit design

Typ: 2.1V, 20mA Operating point 2.6V max 25mA max 0 12.5 25 37.5 50 Forward Current (mA) 0 1.0 2.0 3.0 Forward Voltage (V)
Characteristic exponential IV curve for an AlInGaP amber LED. Near-zero current until threshold (~1.8V), then steep rise. Design point: 2.1V typical at 20mA. Never exceed 2.6V forward or 25mA continuous.

Forward Current Derating

Maximum Forward Current vs. Ambient Temperature

30mA @ 25°C 5mA @ 80°C Safe operating 0 7.5 15 22.5 30 Max If (mA) 0 25 50 80 100 Ambient Temperature (°C)
Maximum allowable forward current decreases linearly with temperature. At 80°C ambient, derate to only 5mA. Design margin is critical in enclosed or high-temperature applications.

Luminous Intensity vs. Forward Current

Relative Brightness (normalized at 20mA)

Linear 1.0 @ 20mA 0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 Relative Brightness 0 10 20 30 40 50 Forward Current (mA)
Brightness increases sublinearly with current. Doubling the current from 20mA to 40mA yields only ~55% more light, not 100%. This means diminishing returns at higher drive currents — optimize for efficiency at or below 20mA.

Luminous Intensity vs. Temperature

Relative Brightness vs. Ambient Temperature (normalized at 25°C)

1.0 @ 25°C Brighter when cold Dimmer when hot 0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 Relative Brightness -30 -10 10 25 50 70 Ambient Temperature (°C)
AlInGaP LEDs lose brightness at elevated temperatures. At 70°C, expect ~30% reduction in luminous intensity. Conversely, the LED is ~50% brighter at -30°C. Account for this in designs with wide temperature swings.
