NPN phototransistors exhibit fast response times
TT Electronics' Optek Technology has developed a series of NPN silicon phototransistors in 1206 chip packages.
Designated the OVTL01LGA Series, the surface mount LEDs offer high luminance (up to 38 lumen), a full 120-degree viewing angle and are available in amber, blue, green, red and white.
According to Richard Saffa, Vice President of Optek Technology's Visible LED Business Unit, the OVTL01LGA Series devices each feature one 1W LED chip mounted in a miniature copper surface mountable package.
"The robust, energy-efficient design of this LED package provides ultralow thermal resistance and a long operating lifespan", Saffa explained.
"As the demand for solid-state lighting continues to grow, we believe that the flexibility provided to lighting designers by these single LED devices will fuel innovative new designs".
With its wide viewing angle and exceptional spatial uniformity, Optek's Lednium Series 1W LED assembly is ideal for a wide variety of solid-state lighting applications, including automotive interior and exterior lighting, architectural lighting, electronic signs and displays.
The OVTL01LGA Series assemblies are available in amber (595nm, 38 lumen); blue (467nm, 6.5 lumen); green (524nm, 31 lumen); red (624nm, 27 lumen); and white (27 lumen).
All colours feature a full 120-degree viewing angle in water clear lenses.
The OVTL01LGA Series exhibits DC forward current of 0.35A, with a peak pulsed forward current of 1A.
Typical forward voltage characteristics range from 2.0 to 3.3V (colour-dependant), and reverse voltage for all devices is 5V.
Maximum allowable junction temperature is 130C and the device features an ultralow thermal resistance of 2C/W.
Operating temperature range is -50 to +80C.
The OVTL01LGA Series assemblies are surface-mountable and measure just 6.00 x 5.10 x 1.56mm.
Typical pricing for the OVTL01LGA Series devices start at $1.30 each in quantities of 10,000 pieces.
Production quantity lead times, if stock is not available, are from 8 to 10 weeks.
