Avago Technologies Announces Industry's Smallest Half-Watt High-Brightness LEDs for Automotive Applications.Compact Red-Orange and Amber Envisium Power PLCC-4 Surface-Mount LEDs Provide New Flexibility in Automotive Exterior Lighting Design MUNICH, Germany -- Avago Technologies Avago Technologies is an American company which was earlier the semiconductor products division of HP and later Agilent Technologies, before being spun off into a distinct legal entity. It holds more than 2,000 patents. today introduced the industry's first Half-Watt (0.5-W) high-brightness red-orange and amber light-emitting diodes (LED) in an automotive-industry-standard PLCC-4 surface-mount (SMT (1) (Surface Mount Technology) See surface mount. (2) (Station ManagemenT) An FDDI network management protocol that provides direct management. Only one node requires the software. SMT - Station Management ) package. This new series of 0.5-W Power LEDs feature the industry's smallest package size and are optimized for long operating life under severe environmental conditions making them ideal for automotive exterior lighting applications. Avago is a leading supplier of innovative semiconductor solutions for advanced communications, industrial and commercial applications. Avago's 0.5-W ASMC-QxB2-Txxx series of SMT LEDs are the latest addition to its family of Envisium[TM] Mid-Power LEDs. The target automotive applications for these new LEDs include rear combination lamps, center high-mounted stop lights (CHSML CHSML Charles H. Stone Memorial Library (Pilot Mountain, NC) ), tail lights, brake lights, side mirror turn-signal repeaters, and marker lamps for trucks and trailers. The high brightness output per LED and small package footprint (3.2 L by 2.8 W by 1.9 H mm) of the 0.5-W Envisium series provide the automotive lighting
In addition to the combination of high brightness, long life and compact size, Avago's 0.5-W Envisium Power PLCC-4 series provide two significant advantages in the automotive production environment: They can be easily soldered using conventional surface mount techniques to minimize production costs, and the package is qualified to a Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC The division of the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) that deals with semiconductor standards (officially, the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association of EIA). JEDEC was formed in 1958 when the Joint Electron Tube Engineering Council (JETEC) split into two Joint Electron Device ) moisture sensitive level (MSL See multiple single-level. ) rating of 2A. For manufacturers, this rating means that the 0.5-W Power PLCC-4 LEDs can be kept in the open air (30 C, 60 percent relative humidity relative humidity n. The ratio of the amount of water vapor in the air at a specific temperature to the maximum amount that the air could hold at that temperature, expressed as a percentage. ) for up to four weeks after being removed from its sealed package without the need to remove absorbed moisture. Features Avago's ASMC-QHB2-TCD0E (red-orange) and ASMC-QAB2-TAC0E (amber) Envisium LEDs feature typical luminous flux The energy field generated by light. See lumen. Luminous flux The time rate of flow of light. It is radiant flux in the form of electromagnetic waves which affects the eye or, more strictly, the time rate of flow of radiant energy evaluated according to of 6.6 lumens and 9.3 lumens, respectively, at 150 mA drive currents. Other features include: * High optical efficiency: 35 lm/W typical for red-orange, 20 lm/W typical for amber * Wide 120 degree viewing angle * Low thermal resistance: 60 C/W C/W Clockwise C/W Consistent With C/W Compatible With C/W Coupled With C/W Complete With C/W Come With C/W Complied With C/W Course Work C/W Counterweight C/W Chilled Water C/W Carrier Wave C/W Caution/Warning junction to pin * Standard PLCC-4 four-pin, leaded-chip carrier is a form and fit replacement for industry standard automotive PLCC-4 LEDs from other manufacturers * Available in 12 mm tape on 8-inch (180 mm) diameter reels for automated assembly * Electrostatic discharge (ESD (1) (Electronic Software Distribution) Distributing new software and upgrades via the network rather than individual installations on each machine.
