The Industry’s Smallest 0.5W High Brightness LEDs

Page Contents:   [ Featured Products | Datasheets | Application Notes | Buy Now ]

The Super 0.5W Power PLCC-4 surface mount LED family from Avago Technologies is the smallest package (3.2 x 2.8 x 1.9mm) to deliver mid power LED performance. The enhanced package design is capable of dissipating heat more efficiently, providing superior thermal management and consistent light output at high drive currents (150mA). This small package provides higher light output and improved flux performance.

Avago’s ASMT-QWB2 (white) and ASMT-QxB2 (red, red-orange, amber) are designed for higher reliability and long operating life under a wide range of environmental conditions. The performance characteristics of these new mid power LEDs make them uniquely suitable for use in harsh conditions in automotive interior/exterior lighting applications, electronics signs and signals (ESS), as well as the needs of the industrial and consumer applications.

 

Maximizing Flexibility and Reducing Production Costs

The high brightness output and small package footprint provides lighting designers greater flexibility when designing the size, shape and appearance of lighting assemblies. To facilitate easy pick-and-place assembly, the LEDs are packed in EIA-compliant tape and reel. Every reel is shipped in single intensity and color bin (except for red) to provide close uniformity.

Avago’s Super 0.5W LEDs provide two additional significant advantages in the production environment to minimize production costs. The devices can be easily soldered using conventional surface mount techniques. They are compatible with the IR solder reflow process and can also be mounted using through-the-wave soldering process.

The package is also qualified to JEDEC moisture sensitive level MSL 2a. For manufacturers, this rating means the product can be kept in open air (in 30ºC, 60% relative humidity) for up to four weeks after being removed from its sealed package, without the need to remove the absorbed moisture.
