Surface Mount LEDs Target Harsh Environments
December 2, 2005 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
PALO ALTO, Calif. — Agilent Technologies Inc.'s HSMx-A43xx series high-brightness red, red-orange, orange, amber, green and blue LEDs in the industry-standard Power PLCC-4 SMT form factor incorporate integral lenses to produce a 30° viewing angle.
Suited for automotive lighting, outdoor electronic signs and signals and other applications requiring highly reliable light sources, the new LEDs complement Agilent's previously introduced Power PLCC-4 LEDs, with 120°, ultra-wide viewing angles. The 30° viewing angle reportedly allows Agilent's SMT LEDs to meet design requirements for interior automotive applications, such as door lighting and instrument clusters, as well as exterior automotive applications, such as turn signal lamps, brake lights and side markers. These LEDs also suit applications in the electronic signs and signals field, such as traffic lights, marker lights and signboards.
The PLCC-4 SMT LEDs operate over a -40° to 100°C temperature range to assure reliability in harsh automotive and outdoor environments. To facilitate pick-and-place assembly, the LEDs are packed in EIA-compliant tape-and-reel. These LEDs are compatible with both infrared solder reflow and through-the-wave soldering processes.
