Agilent Technologies and Lumileds Lighting have released the first three products in the new Envisium mid-power family of light-emitting diodes The Envisium Power PLCC-4 (plastic leaded chip carrier) surface-mount (SMT) LEDs are primarily intended for automotive exterior lighting, such as centre high-mounted stop lights, front turn signals, rear combination turn, tail and stoplights, and mirror turn signals; and interior lighting applications, such as instrument panel and control backlighting, central console backlighting, and navigation and audio systems

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 Envisium Power PLCC-4 SMT LEDs, available in red, red-orange and amber, fill the need for mid-power illumination capabilities between the current Agilent PLCC-4 products, operating at up to 200mW power levels, and Lumileds Lighting's Luxeon LED light sources that operate at power levels of 1W and higher.
Other applications include home and commercial-building mood lighting and highlighting, garden lighting, and illuminated signs and signals.
The use of high-performance Lumileds Lighting TS AlInGaP (transparent-substrate aluminium indium gallium phosphide) LED die enables the new LEDs to produce higher luminous flux output than any other PLCC-4 LEDs on the market.
The Envisium Power PLCC-4 SMT LEDs are based on the PLCC-4 standard package dimensions.
The LED has a substrate made up of a moulded plastic reflector on top of a bent lead frame.
The die is attached within the reflector cavity, and the cavity is encapsulated by an Agilent proprietary epoxy blend.
This package design, coupled with careful selection of component materials, allows the LEDs to perform with high reliability over the -40 to +100C temperature range, crucial in the harsh automotive operating environment.
The Agilent-designed PLCC-4 SMT package can be driven at high current due to its superior package and thermal design, and is compatible with both IR-solder reflow and through-the-wave soldering.
Samples and production quantities (four-week lead time) are available now through Agilent's direct sales channel and its authorised distributors. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
