The ROHM SMLVN6RGB1U1 is a surface-mount tri-colour LED combining blue, green and red emitters in one 6-pin chip package. It is specified at a 20mA forward current with a 3.3V forward voltage, 400mcd luminous intensity measured at a 20mA test current, and a 5V reverse voltage rating. The SMLVN6RGB1U1 uses a diffused white lens, which mixes the three emitters into a more uniform output than a clear lens, and dissipates up to 400mW. The package is a 1411 case measuring 3.1mm by 2.8mm with a 600um height, rated for -40 to 85 degrees C and RoHS compliant.

An RGB LED puts three separately driven emitters behind one lens so a single component can produce any colour in its gamut, which is why these parts dominate status indication on products that need more than on-and-off signalling. The SMLVN6RGB1U1 is used for multi-state status and fault indicators, power and charging indication, button and keypad backlighting, and small-scale ambient or accent lighting in consumer and industrial equipment. The diffused white lens matters in these roles because it blends the three dice into a single apparent colour rather than showing three distinct points. Buyers are consumer electronics, appliance, networking-hardware and industrial panel manufacturers, with the low-profile 600um height suiting slim enclosures and light-pipe designs.
