| Max Continuous Forward Current | IF | 20 | mA | - |
| Peak Forward Current | IFp | 80 | mA | Pulse width/duty cycle limits apply |
| Operating Temperature | Topr | -20 ~ +85 | °C | - |
| Storage Temperature | Tstg | -40 ~ +85 | °C | - |
| Soldering (Wave) | Tsol | 240 | °C | Max 6 seconds |
| Soldering (Manual) | Tsol | 300 | °C | Max 3 seconds |
Crucial Design Note: The soldering point must remain at least 2.0mm above the bottom of the colloid to prevent thermal damage to the epoxy package.
📦 Package, Dimensions & Assembly Notes
- Package Type: F5 Diffused Round Lamp (5mm diameter).
- Dimensions: The overall body length is approximately 18mm with a diameter of 5.5mm. Pin spacing and length follow standard EIA specifications for automatic insertion.
- Assembly: 👇 Designed for standard Through-Hole Technology (THT) processes.

🚀 Sourcing & Supply Considerations
When sourcing the XL-502UGD for volume production, consider the following supply chain and engineering factors:
- Binning Management: Verify bin codes for Brightness (B7-B9) and Voltage (N13-3/4/5) to ensure uniformity across batches.
- Authenticity: Cross-reference packaging markings to confirm EIA standard compliance and avoid counterfeit components.
- Sample Evaluation: Request samples with specific wavelength grading (HG02-HG04) if color matching is critical for UI design.
- Lead Time: F5 LEDs are typically standard stock items, but specific color/binning combinations may have varying lead times.
❓ FAQ
Q: What is the typical forward voltage for this LED?
A: The typical forward voltage (VF) is 3.0V at a rated current of 20mA, with a maximum variance up to 3.4V.
Q: Can this LED be used in outdoor environments?
A: Yes, the operating temperature range is -20°C to +85°C, making it suitable for traffic instructions and urban lighting, provided it is housed in a weatherproof enclosure.
Q: What is the viewing angle of the XL-502UGD?
A: The typical viewing angle (2Ø1/2) is 30 degrees, making it suitable for focused indicator lights rather than wide-area illumination.
Q: How should I handle these components regarding moisture?
