The HSMA-C190 from Broadcom is a high-performance surface-mount ChipLED featuring a top-emitting design and high-brightness AS-AlInGaP LED material. It produces an amber output with a typical dominant wavelength of 592nm, making it suitable for status indicators, control panels, keypad backlighting and industrial interface applications.
The device uses an industry-standard 0603 inch / 1608 metric surface-mount footprint with compact dimensions of approximately 1.6 × 0.8 × 0.8mm. Its low-profile construction helps reduce PCB space requirements in compact electronic assemblies.
The HSMA-C190 features flat-top, diffused and untinted optics with a wide 170° viewing angle, providing good visibility across a broad observation range. Broadcom specifically identifies the package as suitable for light piping and direct backlighting of keypads and panels.
At the specified 20mA test current, the LED has a typical dominant wavelength of 592nm. Broadcom lists a typical luminous intensity of 90mcd and a minimum luminous intensity specification of 25mcd. Typical forward voltage is 1.9V at 10mA.
The ChipLED is specified for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Its C190 package has a low 0.8mm profile, making it useful in space-constrained display, indication and backlighting designs.
Broadcom supplies the device for automated surface-mount assembly using 8mm tape on a 7-inch reel. The current official product page also identifies the HSMA-C190 as RoHS6 compliant.
