XL-5050SURC-FJ SMD LED — Technical Specifications & Design Guide

📌 Product Overview

The XL-5050SURC-FJ from XINGLIGHT is a 5.0 x 5.0 x 1.6 mm surface-mount device (SMD) featuring a high-brightness red emitter with a transparent water-clear colloid. 💡 Designed to meet ROHS directives, this component is optimized for automated SMT production lines and infrared reflow soldering processes.

Target applications primarily include indoor illumination, advertising modules, and jewelry display cabinetry. The focus here is not just on color, but on the consistency of luminous intensity (1600–2400 mcd) and thermal stability within a compact 5050 footprint.

💡 Typical Applications

Based on the 120-degree viewing angle and high luminous intensity, the XL-5050SURC-FJ is suited for:

  • Advertising Module Lighting: High-brightness uniform strips for channel letters and sign boxes.
  • Retail & Counter Lighting: 👇 Specific illumination for jewelry displays and商场 (shop) counters requiring high CRI and contrast.
  • Auxiliary & Indoor Lighting: Supplemental lighting in compact fixtures where space is at a premium.
  • Luminescent Characters: backlight solutions for acrylic characters.

📦 Package, Dimensions & Assembly Notes

  • Package: 5050 SMD (5.0mm x 5.0mm footprint).
  • Dimensions: 5.0 (L) x 5.0 (W) x 1.6 (H) mm.
  • Soldering: Compatible with Infrared Reflow.
    • Lead-Free Process: Peak temp 255°C (Time above 217°C: 60-120s).
    • Lead Process: Peak temp 235°C.
  • Moisture Sensitivity: 🚨 MSL Level 3. Components must be baked/repaired according to J-STD-020C if floor life is exceeded to prevent popcorning during reflow.

📈 Sourcing & Supply Considerations

  • Consistency Control: Verify binning codes for Brightness (F5-F8), Voltage (N12-7/8/9), and Wavelength (HR01-03) to ensure uniformity in large-scale lighting arrays.
  • Authenticity: Source through EIA standard packaging channels to avoid counterfeit components that may not meet the 2000V ESD rating.
  • Sample Evaluation: Request pre-production samples to validate the 1600-2400 mcd intensity range in your specific optical housing.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the XL-5050SURC-FJ be driven at 60mA continuously?
A: Yes, the Absolute Maximum Ratings support a continuous forward current (IF) of 60mA at an ambient temperature of 25°C. However, thermal management is critical to keep the junction temperature within the -40°C to +85°C operating range.

Q: What does the "MSL 3" rating mean for my assembly line?
A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 means the component is sensitive to moisture absorption. If the dry pack is opened and the components are exposed to the factory floor for more than 168 hours, they must be baked (125°C) prior to reflow soldering to prevent internal cracking.

Q: What is the forward voltage range I should design my driver for?
A: The forward voltage (VF) ranges from 1.8V to 2.4V at 60mA. Your LED driver should accommodate this variance, preferably including the voltage binning codes (N12-7 through N12-9) to balance current in series strings.

Q: Is this LED suitable for outdoor signage applications?
A: While the datasheet lists "Luminescent character" applications, the operating temperature is rated up to 85°C. For outdoor use, ensure the IP rating of the final fixture and heat dissipation keep the LED within these thermal limits.
