📌 Product Overview
The XL-B524SURUGC is a standard F5 (5mm) through-hole component equipped with independent high-brightness Red and Emerald Green chips. 💡 It utilizes a water-clear, transparent colloid optimized for high luminous intensity and a wide 30-degree viewing angle.
Designed with a common anode configuration, this device is engineered for applications requiring status indication or dual-color backlighting where space efficiency and low-voltage DC drive (20mA) are critical.
🚀 Typical Applications
Based on its F5 footprint and bi-color capability, the XL-B524SURUGC is suitable for integration into:
- Industrial Backlighting: 🔘 Indicator panels and switch illumination.
- Automotive Interiors: Dashboard lighting and subtle status signals.
- Smart Home Devices: HUD status indicators and appliance UI feedback.
- Signal Indication: 🔦 Power state visibility and general electronic signage.
- Consumer Electronics: General purpose LED requiring a long operating life.

❓ FAQ
Q: What is the voltage requirement for the Green chip?
A: The Green chip typically requires a forward voltage ($V_F$) between 2.8V and 3.4V at 20mA.
Q: What is the viewing angle for this LED?
A: The XL-B524SURUGC features a 30-degree viewing angle ($2\theta_{1/2}$), suitable for focused indication.
Q: Can this component be used for automotive applications?
A: Yes, the datasheet lists "Automotive Interior Applications," though designers should verify specific AEC-Q qualifications if required for critical safety systems.
Q: What are the soldering limits to prevent damage?
A: For manual welding, do not exceed $300^\circ C$ for 3 seconds. Keep the soldering point at least 2.0mm away from the colloid bottom.
Q: How is the brightness classified?
A: Brightness is binned via codes like A5 (400-500mcd) for Red and C1-C3 (8000-14000mcd) for Green, allowing for precise luminosity selection.
