High brightness on surface mount LEDs.
Agilent Technologies has introduced a series of surface-mount LEDs designed and qualified specifically for automobile interior and exterior lighting applications.
Hot-pluggable transceiver for Fibre Channel
Agilent Technologies has announced volume availability of its 2Gbit/s small-form-pluggable (SFP) fibre-optic transceiver for Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs).
Avago's ASMT-MX00 is ideal for use in applications that require ultra-high-brightness LEDs, such as flashlights, reading lamps, architectural and garden lighting.
This offering can lead to new lighting applications, such as brilliantly backlit signs no thicker than a picture frame.
Avago's new ASMT-MX00 LED package provides manufacturers with two significant advantages.
First, it can be easily soldered using conventional surface mount (SMT) techniques to minimise production costs, and the package is qualified to a JEDEC moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating of 2A.
For manufacturers, this rating means that the ASMT-MX00 LEDs can be kept in the open air (30C, 60% relative humidity) for up to four weeks after being removed from their sealed package without the need to remove absorbed moisture.
"Avago has entered the 1W LED market to provide our customers with a unique product combined with the assurance of our industry recognised reliability and ability to deliver in volume", said Cheng Kai Chong, Worldwide Marketing Manager for Avago Technologies' Optoelectronic Products Division.
"Our ASMT-MX00, which is the first in a series of 1W LED products, provides customers with one of the thinnest package available, superior heat dissipation, compatible to IR soldering, robust moisture resistance and encapsulated in heat and UV-resistant silicone compound".
The ASMT-MX00 series of 1W continuous power dissipation indium gallium nitride (InGaN) LEDs are available in blue, green and phosphor white, and feature a smooth radiation pattern with a 120-degree viewing angle (110 degrees for white).
The ASMT-MX00 series LEDs are available now in samples and production quantities through Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
