PCB assembly operation adds weight to distribution
Independent UK distributor Anglia Components has expanded its range of capabilities with the opening of a PCB assembly facility.
A typical luminous intensity of up to 9.0mcd at 2mA is available for the 5mm red.
Low-current LEDs are excellent for portable applications that rely on battery power.
These LEDs offer high brightness for status indication circuits while consuming minimum power which results in conservation of battery life.
The surface-mount option is particularly useful where there is the additional requirement to reduce size and weight on the PC board.
Another major area where these low-current LEDs are especially applicable, is as a replacement for standard LEDs in areas where there is a need and requirement to reduce power consumption.
In a world where there is an ever-increasing pressure to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, these environmentally friendly LEDs play their part by only consuming one-tenth the current of a normal LED.
This can generate for example, a potential saving of 450mA when replacing 25 standard indication LEDs running at 20mA with low-current ones.
