EAST2012AA0 Orange LED 0805 SMD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EAST2012AA0 is an orange LED indicator in 0805 (2012 Metric) surface mount package manufactured by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd. This discrete LED operates at 2.05V forward voltage with a 607nm dominant wavelength and 50.25mcd luminous intensity. The component is actively produced and stocked with 849 units available in Tape & Reel packaging. Orange LEDs in this package size are commonly used in indicator applications where space constraints and standard SMD assembly processes are required. Equivalent substitute parts may be necessary due to supply availability, lead time considerations, or specific inventory requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the EAST2012AA0 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Electrical Parameters: Forward voltage (Vf), test current, wavelength characteristics (dominant and peak), and luminous intensity (millicandela rating) must fall within acceptable tolerance ranges for indicator applications.

Mechanical Parameters: Package type (0805/2012 Metric), mounting type (Surface Mount), lens style (Rectangle with Flat Top), and physical dimensions (length, width, height) must match to ensure PCB assembly compatibility and form factor requirements.

Optical Parameters: Color (Orange), lens transparency (Clear), and viewing angle (140°) must be identical to maintain visual performance and application consistency.

Packaging & Logistics: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format ensures compatibility with standard SMD assembly equipment.

The SML-LX0805SOC-TR from Lumex Opto/Components Inc. qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on matching all critical mechanical, optical, and packaging specifications within the defined tolerance envelope for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the EAST2012AA0 and SML-LX0805SOC-TR are active production components with established supply chains. The Lumex substitute offers higher luminous intensity (60mcd versus 50.25mcd) and maintains electrical compatibility with a forward voltage of 2V compared to 2.05V. Peak wavelength separation is minimal (610nm versus 611nm), ensuring color consistency within standard orange LED specifications.

The SML-LX0805SOC-TR carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting environmental regulatory requirements. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 2 (1 Year) indicates standard handling and storage conditions.

Physical height difference of 0.10mm (1.20mm maximum versus 1.10mm maximum) is within typical PCB assembly tolerances and does not present clearance issues in standard 0805 applications. All other mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring direct form-factor compatibility.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, cost considerations, and specific luminous intensity requirements for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SML-LX0805SOC-TR directly replace the EAST2012AA0 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical package dimensions (2.00mm L x 1.25mm W), mounting type (Surface Mount), and footprint specifications. The 0.10mm height difference falls within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect placement or soldering processes.

Q: What is the significance of the millicandela rating difference?

A: The SML-LX0805SOC-TR provides 60mcd compared to the EAST2012AA0's 50.25mcd. This represents approximately 19% higher luminous intensity. For indicator applications, this difference may be beneficial for visibility but should be evaluated against circuit design specifications and current-limiting resistor values.

Q: Are the forward voltage differences critical?

A: The forward voltage difference of 0.05V (2.05V versus 2V) is within typical LED manufacturing tolerances and does not present compatibility issues in standard indicator circuits. Both components operate at the same test current (20mA) and are suitable for identical circuit designs.

Q: Do wavelength differences affect color perception?

A: Peak wavelength separation of 1nm (611nm versus 610nm) is imperceptible to human vision. Both components produce orange indication within standard color specifications and are visually equivalent in end-use applications.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to the substitute part?

A: The SML-LX0805SOC-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, identical to the EAST2012AA0. Both components are compatible with standard SMD pick-and-place assembly equipment and reel handling systems.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: The SML-LX0805SOC-TR carries explicit ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Both components share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment.
