TL12W01-D surface mount white LED delivers typical performance of 35l mW with forward voltage rated at 3.4 V at forward current of 250 mA. Suited for commercial, residential, and industrial applications, 10.5 x 5.0 x 2.1 mm device is designed for use with automated lead-free production lines and is compatible with reflow soldering processes at temperatures up to 260°C. Operating temperature range is -40 to +100°C.
Toshiba Announces High Flux Surface Mount White LED as Low Power Alternative to Conventional Lighting
New white LED provides compact, high efficiency lighting for commercial, residential and industrial applications
IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 5 // - Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, today announced it has expanded its family of white LEDs with a new device that can provide a typical flux of 30 lumens (lm) from a driving current of 250mA. The new TL12W01-D surface mount LED is ideally suited for many residential and commercial lighting applications that have used conventional incandescent bulbs. With dimensions of just 10.5mm x 5.0mm x 2.1mm, it is also targeted for space-limited applications that require high-brightness LCD backlighting.
Toshiba's TL12W01-D white LED is able to deliver typical performance of 35lm/W as a result of a low thermal resistance package that provides improved heat release characteristics. The forward voltage for the new device is rated at 3.4V (typical) at a forward current of 250mA. A wide operating temperature range of -40 degrees C to 100 degrees C enables use of these LEDs in a broad range of commercial, residential and industrial applications.
Designed for use with automated Lead(Pb)-Free(1) production lines, the new surface mount device is compatible with reflow soldering processes at temperatures up to 260 degrees C.
"Toshiba recognizes the growing need for miniaturization of white LEDs coupled with high brightness and low power consumption. The TL12W01-D meets the requirements of various commercial lighting applications and has favorable power consumption characteristics," said Yoshimichi Sasaki, business development director, optoelectronics for TAEC. Demand for white LEDs is increasing for general lighting applications. White LEDs offer long operating life, low power consumption and compact size compared with incandescent and fluorescent lamps.
