Side-Emitting

S1606BL-CMH1

1606 (1.7 × 1.1 × 0.6mm)
CMH01-17B06C

Blue side-emitting LED in the 1606 footprint (1.7 × 1.1 × 0.6mm). Lateral emission from the 1.1mm package face for edge-injection into light guides and membrane backlight assemblies. Blue light guides provide high contrast from standard red/green indicator systems and are widely specified for power-state and identification lighting in modern equipment. Output 70–150mcd at 20mA, optimized for aperture coupling. Operating temperature −40°C to +85°C.

iBright Advantages

Side-emitting LED performance depends critically on package geometry — lateral aperture dimensions, emission angle, and die placement all determine coupling efficiency. CMH's controlled 1606 package geometry maintains consistent lateral output and beam alignment across all orders, eliminating the optical redesign risk that accompanies source changes.

Application Notes

Lateral emission from 1.1mm face. Confirm wavelength from CMH datasheet.
