Sourcing Guidance
HSMH-C170 is obsolete or discontinued. Require date-code, label, package and traceability checks, and validate any replacement independently.
For an accurate quotation, include the full MPN, target quantity, acceptable date-code range, packaging format and destination. Icearth can help review traceability documents, label photos and electrical/package alignment before order placement.
Manufacturer Documentation
Technical values were checked against Broadcom documentation. Use the linked datasheet as the controlling source and re-check revisions before PCB release or firmware qualification.
HSMH-C170 selection and design context
HSMH-C170 is cataloged as a Chip LED in the HSMH-C170 family. Its recorded function is red AlGaAs surface-mount chip LED with a wide viewing angle. Selection should be based on the complete electrical limits, package drawing and ordering suffix rather than the abbreviated family code.
- Color: Red. Confirm the value and its datasheet test conditions for the exact ordering suffix.
- Dominant Wavelength: 639 nm typical. Confirm the value and its datasheet test conditions for the exact ordering suffix.
- Forward Voltage: 1.8 V typical. Check rail compatibility, tolerance and sequencing under worst-case conditions.
- Test Current: 20 mA. Check steady-state, transient and thermal margin in the intended operating mode.
Application and qualification considerations
When evaluating this component, confirm the ratings that control system compatibility, including supply conditions, interface or signal limits, timing, thermal behavior and package constraints. For a new design, review power-up behavior, interface timing, absolute maximum ratings, thermal limits and any external-component requirements in the latest manufacturer documentation. Existing-board replacement work should additionally confirm pinout, footprint, firmware assumptions and qualification grade.
Procurement checks for HSMH-C170
The recorded package is 0805 chip LED, 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.8 mm, the temperature range is -40°C to +85°C, and the lifecycle status is Obsolete as of 2026-07-21. Before ordering, confirm the exact MPN on the label, packing format, quantity, date-code requirements, traceability documents and current factory status.
HSMH-C170 FAQ
What distinguishes HSMH-C170 within the HSMH-C170 family?
