Cool White SMD LEDs come in 14 narrow color bins.
Press Release Summary:
Offered in EIA- and ICE-standard PLCC-2 package, sapphire-based VLMW41XX Series delivers luminous intensity ranging from 180-450 mcd, 60° angle of half-intensity, and ESD-withstand voltage up to 2 kV. By providing narrow color bins and selection type of 4 adjacent color groups, LEDs allow designers to eliminate color differences in variety of lighting applications, including backlighting in automotive dashboards, telecommunications systems, A/V equipment, and LCDs.
Original Press Release:
VLMW41XX Cool White SMD LEDs With Expanded Color Binning and Ordering Options
Vishay Intertechnology's VLMW41XX Series of Sapphire-Based, Cool White SMD LEDs Now Offered in 14 Narrow Color Bins, With Selection Type of Four Adjacent Color Groups Available
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) announces that it has expanded the color binning and ordering options for its VLMW41XX series of sapphire-based, cool white SMD LEDs in a PLCC-2 package. The devices are now available in 14 different color bins with very narrow chromaticity coordinate groups. In addition, Vishay's customers can now order LEDs comprised of four adjacent color bins.
Product Features:
o Offered in 14 color bins with very narrow chromaticity coordinate groups according to CIE1931
o Eliminates color differences in lighting applications
o Selection type of four adjacent color groups now available
o Extremely high luminous intensity ranging from 180 mcd to 450 mcd
o Offered in the EIA- and ICE-standard PLCC-2 package
o Consists of a lead frame embedded in a white thermoplast
o Preconditioned according to JEDEC Level 2a standards, the PLCC-2 package is lead (Pb)-free and RoHS compliant
o Moisture sensitivity level of 2a, resulting in a floor life of four weeks, well beyond the typical PLCC-2 rating
o Feature an ESD-withstand voltage up to 2 kV, in accordance with JESD22-A114-B
o Devices are qualified according to AEC-Q101
Key Specifications:
o ESD-withstand voltage up to 2 kV
o Luminous intensity ranging from 180 mcd to 450 mcd
o 60° angle of half-intensity
o Typical color temperature of 5500 K, cool white
o Available in 8 mm tape reel
Market Applications:
o Backlighting in automotive dashboards and switches; indicators and backlighting in telecommunications systems, audio and video equipment, white goods, and office equipment; and flat backlighting for LCDs, switches, and symbols in general use
The Perspective:
By providing more narrow color bins and a selection type of four adjacent color groups, Vishay's VLMW41XX series of sapphire-based, cool white SMD LEDs allow designers to eliminate color differences in a wide variety of lighting applications. Offered in the EIA- and ICE-standard PLCC-2, the LEDs are built on a highly efficient InGaN technology for extremely high luminous intensity ranging from 180 mcd to 450 mcd.
Availability: Samples of the VLMW41XX high-intensity SMD LEDs are available now. Production quantities will be available in July, with lead times of six to eight weeks for larger orders.
