### Technical Overview: SMA36VG-CB2-R The **SMA36VG-CB2-R** is a specific electronic component belonging to the family of **Surface Mount (SMT) Indicators** or **Display Modules**. Based on standard nomenclature for this series, it is a high-performance **Surface Mount Addressable (or Standard) LED Display**, typically used for numerical or status indications. --- ### Key Specifications Below is a breakdown of the primary technical parameters for this part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | 7-Segment LED Display | | **Mounting Style** | Surface Mount (SMD/SMT) | | **Color** | Green (VG usually denotes "Visible Green" or "Very Green") | | **Number of Digits** | Single Digit | | **Polarity** | Common Benzine/Anode or Cathode (Check specific datasheet) | | **Packaging** | Tape and Reel (-R suffix) | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +85°C | --- ### Detailed Component Analysis #### 1. Visual Characteristics The "VG" in the part number indicates the specific wavelength of the light emitted. Typically, this is a **Green** LED with a dominant wavelength around **570nm**. The "CB" often refers to the face color and segment color (e.g., Black face, White segments). #### 2. Electrical Properties * **Forward Voltage ($V_F$):** Generally ranges between **2.0V to 2.4V** per segment. * **Forward Current ($I_F$):** Rated typically at **20mA** for continuous operation. * **Luminous Intensity:** Designed for high visibility even in compact form factors. #### 3. Physical Dimensions As an SMD part, it is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly. Its footprint is significantly smaller than traditional through-hole (DIP) displays, making it ideal for: * Handheld devices. * Compact industrial controllers. * Consumer electronics (microwaves, clocks). --- ### Pin Configuration and Schematic While specific pinouts vary by manufacturer (such as SunLED or American Bright), a standard 7-segment SMD display follows this logical mapping: ```text A ----- F | | B | G | ----- E | | C | | ----- . DP D ``` * **Segments:** A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and DP (Decimal Point). * **Common Pin:** Depending on whether it is Common Anode or Cathode, all segments share one side of the circuit. --- ### Typical Applications 1. **Industrial Instrumentation:** Digital voltmeters and pressure gauges. 2. **Medical Equipment:** Heart rate monitors or portable diagnostic tools. 3. **Appliances:** Temperature displays for smart home devices.
