The OVSTRGBAC6 is a full-colour top-view chip LED with 110 degree viewing angle.
Each chip in this device is individually addressable, providing colour on-demand.
The OVSTRGBFC6 is a full-colour SMT chip LED is housed in a 3.5 x 3.0 x 1.4mm package that features multiple wide viewing angles.
The OVSTRGBLC6 full-colour top-view chip LED replicates the OVSTRGBAC6 but adds a lens over each die to narrow the viewing angles for applications where more focused emitted light is required.
The OVSARGB3R8 is a full-colour PLCC4 LED with 120 degree viewing angle.
This LED package features a three-die design and is compatible with automatic placement equipment as well as infra-red and vapour phase reflow solder; The OVSTRGBBCR8 PLCC6 LED combines a wide viewing angle, low power consumption, tuneable colour mix and high light output.
All the surface mount RGB LEDs feature AllnGaP/InGaN material with water clear lenses.
The LC6 and FC6 LEDs have a pulsed forward current of 100mA and operating temperature is -30 to +80C.
The AC6 top-view chip LED has a reverse voltage of 5V per chip and operating temperature is -30 to +85C.
The PLCC LED devices feature a reverse voltage of 5V, and a peak forward current of 200mA for the red LEDs and 100mA for the green and blue LEDs.
Operating temperature range is -40 to +100C.
Typical pricing for the RGB surface mount LED family devices starts at $.95 each in quantities of 10,000 pieces.
Production quantity lead times, if stock is not available, are from 8 to 10 weeks.
