The **AL-12R6R1CWC-A2X-15** is a specific part number typically associated with **High-Power Surface Mount (SMD) LEDs**, often categorized as "Piranha" or "Super Flux" style LEDs due to their multi-pin configuration and high-intensity output. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below is a breakdown of the typical electronic characteristics of this component series: | Parameter | Typical Value | Unit | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Color** | Cool White | - | | **Luminous Intensity** | 5,000 - 8,000 | mcd | | **Forward Voltage ($V_f$)** | 3.0 - 3.6 | Volts | | **Forward Current ($I_f$)** | 20 - 30 | mA | | **Viewing Angle** | 100 - 120 | Degrees | | **Operating Temperature** | -40 to +85 | °C | --- ### 2. Part Number Breakdown (Nomenclature) While exact naming conventions vary by manufacturer (often *A-Bright* or *Everlight* style), the code generally follows this logic: * **AL**: Manufacturer Prefix (e.g., A-Bright). * **12**: Package size or series identifier. * **R6R1**: Specific dye configuration or internal chip structure. * **CWC**: **C**ool **W**hite **C**olor. * **A2X**: Lens type or binning classification (usually water clear). * **15**: Specific rank or brightness binning indicator. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Features * **Four-Pin Design:** Unlike standard 2-pin LEDs, this part usually features four pins. This provides better thermal dissipation (heat sinking) and superior mechanical stability on the PCB. * **High Luminous Efficiency:** Designed to provide high brightness with low power consumption. * **Water Clear Lens:** The "A2X" designation usually implies a transparent resin, allowing for a focused or wide-angle light beam without diffusion. * **ESD Protection:** Most modern iterations include built-in protection against Electrostatic Discharge (up to 2000V). --- ### 4. Typical Connection Diagram To integrate this into a circuit, a current-limiting resistor is required. ```cpp // Basic Calculation for a 12V DC Supply: // R = (V_supply - V_forward) / I_forward // R = (12V - 3.2V) / 0.02A // R = 440 Ohms (Standard value: 470 Ohms) ``` ---
