VISHAY'S NEW SMD 0603 ULTRA-BRIGHT LEDS PROVIDE LUMINOUS INTENSITY FROM 13 MCD TO 80 MCD
24 September 2004 - Vishay Electronic

A new series of ultra-bright LEDs that give designers a range of six colors in the smallest SMD form factor on the market was announced today by Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.

Devices in the new Vishay Semiconductors SMD 0603-LED series feature ultra-miniature dimensions of 1.6 mm by 0.8 mm and a low height profile of 0.6 mm, enabling design of small-scale, high-power products that operate reliably even in demanding environments.

Typical applications for the new series include backlight keypads, navigation systems, consumer appliances, office equipment, medical instruments, displays for mobile phones, industrial control systems, automotive systems, and systems requiring miniaturized color effects. With luminous intensity ranging from 13 mcd to 80 mcd, the new TLMX1100LEDs offer exceptional brightness in a footprint compatible with the industry-standard 0603.

Available in super red, orange, yellow, green, pure green, and blue, devices in the SMD 0603-LED series give designers greater flexibility in creating smaller, thinner, and more robust systems while also increasing those products' overall reliability. In addition to very low power consumption and ESD withstand voltage up to 1 KV, all six LEDs ensure even lighting with a luminous intensity ratio of 1.6 or less per packing unit.
