LEDs drop in to replace industry standards

Agilent Technologies has introduced a family of high-brightness, white light-emitting diodes in the industry-standard PLCC-2 and Power PLCC-4 surface-mount form factor.

Agilent Technologies has introduced a family of high-brightness, white light-emitting diodes in the industry-standard PLCC-2 (plastic leaded chip carrier) and Power PLCC-4 surface-mount form factor.

These white LEDs are drop-in replacements for the Osram TopLED and Power TopLED products in automotive interior lighting applications, and are offered with the industry's shortest lead time of four weeks.

Agilent's HSMW-A10xx and HSMW-A40xx series white surface-mount (SMT) LEDs feature a super-wide 120-degree viewing angle, making them ideal for panel, pushbutton, or general backlighting in automotive interiors.

Their flat top-emitting surface makes it easy to mate these LEDs with light pipes.

With their built-in reflector increasing the intensity of the light output, these LEDs are also well suited for automotive ambient lighting such as vanity mirror lights, cabin lights/dome lights, and car-door puddle lights.

Other applications include panel, pushbutton, or general backlighting in office and industrial equipment and home appliances, variable message signs, and indoor and outdoor ambient lighting for businesses and residences.

In the PLCC-2 package, the Agilent HSMW-A101-R50J1 provides 100mcd minimum luminous intensity; the HSMW-A100-T50J1 provides 250mcd minimum.

The luminous intensity specifications are based on both products operating at 20mA forward current.

In the Power PLCC-4 package, the HSMW-A400-U00M2 provides 400mcd minimum luminous intensity when operating at 30mA forward current.

The HSMW-A10xx and HSMW-A40xx series LEDs are supplied in Agilent's reliable and optically efficient packages, and operate over a -40 to +100C temperature range to assure reliability in harsh automotive environments.

To facilitate easy pick-and-place assembly, the LEDs are packed in EIA-compliant tape and reel.

Every reel is shipped with devices selected for uniformity of both brightness and colour.

These LEDs are compatible with both the infrared solder reflow and through-the-wave soldering processes.

Agilent's PLCC SMT white LEDs are available now through Agilent's direct sales channel and its authorised distributors.
