Surface mount LEDs are smaller and brighter

New compact high-efficiency white light emitting diodes are among the brightest white LEDs in the industry available in the PLCC2 form factor.

New compact high-efficiency white light emitting diodes from Toshiba provide twice the brightness of previous generation devices and are among the brightest white LEDs in the industry available in this form factor.

The new TLWK1100B LED, available from Marktech Optoelectronics delivers luminous intensity levels of up to 2000mcd from a drive current of only 20mA.

The robust design makes it suitable for automotive lighting designs, LCD backlighting, panel indicators, and the replacement of incandescent lamps in certain lighting applications.

The TLWK1100B is available in a standard PLCC2 surface-mount package that measures 3.2 x 2.9 x 1.9mm.

The LED's high brightness white light output is a result of a combination of a blue InGaN (indium gallium nitride) LED and yellow-emitting phosphor.

The device offers efficient operation with maximum power dissipation of just 114mW and typical forward voltage (VF) of 3.2V.

Operating temperature ranges from -40 to +100C.

Designed for use with automated lead-free (Pb-free) production lines, the new surface mount device is compatible with reflow soldering processes at temperatures up to 260C.

Pricing for the TLWK1100B is US $0.46 in 10,000-unit lots, and free samples are also available.
