High brightness on surface mount LEDs.
Agilent Technologies has introduced a series of surface-mount LEDs designed and qualified specifically for automobile interior and exterior lighting applications.
Hot-pluggable transceiver for Fibre Channel
Agilent Technologies has announced volume availability of its 2Gbit/s small-form-pluggable (SFP) fibre-optic transceiver for Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs).
Industrial instrument applications for the new LEDs include test equipment and industrial controllers, and typical electrical appliance applications include microwave and conventional ovens, washing machines and clothes dryers.
This new family of LEDs provides a form and fit replacement for products from other major manufacturers, including TopLed products and other PLCC devices.
The package design, coupled with careful selection of component materials, ensures high reliability over a wider operating temperature range of -55 to +100C, compared with the -30 to +85C provided by base SMT LEDs such as those in ChipLED packages.
"We are bringing Agilent's legendary quality and manufacturing ability to the industry-standard SMT PLCC-2 LED market", said Michael Huether, Director of Marketing Europe, Middle East and Africa, Semiconductor Products Group.
"Our customers will benefit from increased reliability, wider operating margins, and aggressive lead times, all at economical prices".
These Agilent LED products are housed in PLCC-2 SMT packages with dimensions of 3.2 x 2.8 x 1.9mm, and with a 120-degree viewing angle that is ideal for instrument, switch and icon backlighting.
The package features an external reflector that makes it simple to couple with a light pipe or light guide to provide uniform illumination of large areas.
Precision manufacturing techniques assure perfect pickup by automated manufacturing equipment, and the combination of a bottom chamfer and precise lead formation eliminates stresses and provides an additional assurance of reliable performance after installation.
Agilent's PLCC-2 SMT LEDs are available in a wide assortment of colours and luminous intensities.
The LEDs are shipped with EIA481-compliant standard packaging: 8mm carrier tape on 7in-diameter reel and sealed in moisture barrier bags and can be delivered within four weeks.
Agilent expects to add bi- and tricolour packages to its PLCC SMT LED family later this year. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
