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).
The combination of high brightness and weather-resistant packaging makes these LEDs ideal for applications such as traffic signals, pedestrian crossing signs, speed limit and exit signs, stadium scoreboards, advertising and other variable message signs.
The HLMP-Cxxx circular-pattern and HLMP-Hxxx oval-pattern extra-bright LED lamps, from Agilent's Semiconductor Products Group, are available in blue, green and cyan, and in 15-, 23- and 30-degree circular viewing angles.
The blue and green versions are available with 40-degree by 100-degree oval viewing angles, specifically designed for full-colour video and passenger information signs.
The oval-shaped radiation pattern and high luminosity make these devices excellent for wide field-of-view outdoor applications where a wide viewing angle and readability in sunlight are essential.
These lamps have very smooth, matched radiation patterns ensuring consistent colour mixing in full-colour applications, and uniformity across the viewing angle of the sign.
Agilent's blue and green LEDs are based on the most efficient and cost-effective flip-chip InGaN material technology.
The 470nm typical dominant wavelength for blue and 521nm typical wavelength for green are well suited to colour mixing in full-colour signs.
The 505nm typical dominant wavelength for cyan is suitable for traffic-signal applications.
These extra-bright InGaN lamps are supplied in 5mm (T-1.75) through-hole packages and combine Agilent's most advanced through-hole packaging technology to ensure maximum light extraction from the die.
The die is attached within the reflector cavity, and the cavity is encapsulated by Agilent's proprietary epoxy blend.
This means the lamps perform with high reliability over the -40 to +85C temperature range and are protected from UV radiation and humid environments.
Samples and production quantities (four-week lead-time) are available now through Agilent's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
