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).
The ASMT-FJ30 is ideal for use as an auxiliary autofocus flash in camera applications that require long distance illumination and a narrow radiation pattern.
Avago's orange ASMT-FJ30 flash LED is an easy to install miniature surface mount technology (SMT) dome LED lamp, which incorporates an untinted, nondiffused lens that provides light output within a narrow 18-degree radiation pattern to assist the autofocus function in digital still cameras in low-light or dark environments.
Moreover, it also provides greater functionality per square inch of PCB while achieving superior performance in terms of brightness and power consumption.
As a result, design engineers can pack more functionality, features and performance in less space to make these devices smaller and enhance the end user's overall experience.
The ASMT-FJ30 package also provides convenience in the assembly process and is available in 1500 unit tape and reels to facilitate pick and place operations.
As a result, design engineers can expect shorter time to market and overall cost savings.
Avago's ASMT-FJ30 SMT LEDs are supplied in 16mm tape on 380mm-diameter reels for compatibility with automated manufacturing.
