Yellow 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, membrane backlights, and light pipe assemblies. Yellow is the standard warning-state color in three-color light guide systems, providing a distinct intermediate state between red and green without requiring an additional indicator position. Output 70–150mcd at 20mA, optimized for aperture coupling. Operating temperature −40°C to +85°C.
Detailed electrical and optical characteristics
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.
Lateral emission from 1.1mm face. Confirm wavelength from CMH datasheet.
