Surface-mount LEDs pack more brightness
High-brightness LEDs are the first devices rated at 0.5W in industry-standard PLCC-4 surface-mount packages.
Avago Technologies has introduced the industry's first 0.5W high-brightness LEDs in industry-standard PLCC-4 surface-mount packages These new 0.5W power LEDs, which are available in white, amber, red-orange and red colours, feature the industry's smallest package size, a wide 120-degree viewing angle, and are optimised for long operating life under severe environmental conditions

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).
Moreover, these new high-brightness LEDs were designed to dissipate heat more efficiently to provide superior thermal management and consistent light output.
Avago's new 0.5W LEDs are ideal for use by designers of automotive interior and exterior lighting, electronic sign and signals (ESS), office automation, home appliances and industrial equipment.
Avago is a leading supplier of analogue interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications.

Agilent Technologies has announced a new serial infra-red (SIR) transceiver that is ideal for new-generation personal information devices, such as PDAs, which are becoming increasingly thinner.
Avago's 0.5W ASMT-QWB2 (white) and ASMT-QxB2 (amber, red-orange and red) series of SMT LEDs can be used for backlighting dashboards, dome and map lighting, puddle lamps, rear reverse lamp indicator lighting and license plate illumination in automotive applications.
These LEDs can also be used for decorative lighting in general lighting applications, channel lettering in ESS applications, and for backlighting instrument panels and displays in industrial equipment, office automation and home appliance applications.
Moreover, the high brightness output per LED and small package footprint (3.2 x 2.8 x 1.9mm) of Avago's 0.5W high-brightness power LED series provide lighting designers with greater flexibility in designing the sise, shape and appearance of lighting assemblies.
In addition to the combination of high-brightness, long life and compact sise, Avago's 0.5W power PLCC-4 series of LEDs provide two significant advantages in the production environment: They can be easily soldered using conventional surface mount techniques to minimise production costs, and the package is qualified to a JEDEC moisture sensitive level (MSL) rating of 2A.
For manufacturers, this rating means that the 0.5W power PLCC-4 LEDs can be kept in the open air (30C, 60% relative humidity) for up to four weeks after being removed from its sealed package without the need to remove absorbed moisture.
Avago's ASMT-QWB2 and ASMT-QxB2 0.5-W LEDs feature typical luminous flux of 9.8 to 17 lumen at 150mA drive currents.
The colours and corresponding part numbers for these new high-brightness SMT power LEDs are: white (ASMT-QWB2), amber (ASMT-QAB2), red-orange (ASMT-QHB2) and red (ASMT-QRB2).
