TORRANCE, CA — March 12, 2002 — LEDtronics® introduces Series RAB362 LED (Light Emitting Diode) illuminators for back- and edgelighting
applications. Featuring two diode chips, RAB362 LEDs deliver
exceptional illumination to make displ ays, keypads and legends easier
to read while preserving the lightweight, compact nature of portable
electronic devices. RAB362 LEDs offer a longer operating life, superior
brightness,
lower voltage operation, and less heat emissions when compared with alternative
backlighting sources. These right angle, single-level LEDs are designed
for applications where the design requires the light source to be perpendicular
to the display plane. RAB362 LEDs measure x 0.362-inches (9.19mm) long
x
0.043-inches (1.09mm) wide x 0.059-inches (1.5mm) high. The bi-pin design
provides the stability necessary to align status indicators precisely.
Series RAB362 LEDs expand the options available for backlighting personal
desktop
accessories, cellular telephones, keypads, palm pilots, data communication
equipment, active thin-film transistor (TFT) LCDs, display legends, etc...
.
Series RAB362 LEDs are available in two versions: (1) Ultra Sunlight
Visible and (2) Standard Intensity. Both versions feature water-clear lenses
and 120° angles. Ultra Sunlight Visible comes in ultra red (660nm, 80mcd
at 20mA), super red (630nm, 140mcd at 20mA), super orange (611nm, 120mcd
at 20mA), super yellow (595nm, 80mcd at 20mA), super green (574nm, 60mcd
at 20mA), aqua green (525nm, 45mcd at 20mA), and super blue (470nm, 40mcd
at 20mA). Standard Intensity LEDs are available in ultra red (660nm, 80mcd
at 25mA), high-efficiency red (635nm, 12.5mcd at 25mA), yellow (585nm, 10.0mcd
at 25mA) and high-efficiency green (567nm, 11.0mcd at 25mA).
With an average life span of 100,000-plus hours (11 years), LED lamps operate
more than 20 times longer than the equivalent incandescent lamp! Solid-state
design renders LEDs impervious to shock, vibration, frequent switching and
environmental extremes. Savings from reduced maintenance costs and downtime
quickly return the investment expenditure, which are important factors to
consider when evaluating the financial aspects of installing LED lamps.
LED lamps produce almost no heat and require 80% - 90% less operating power
than equivalent incandescents, making them as friendly to the environment
as they are to the operating budget.
Founded in 1983, LEDtronicsâ leads where others only follow when it
comes to designing, manufacturing and packaging state-of-the-art LEDs to
meet the world’s constantly changing lighting needs. Our inventive
product line encompasses an array of direct incandescent lamp replacement
Based LED Lamps, low-cost snap-in and relampable LED Lamps, high intensity
sunlight-visible Discrete LEDs, PCB LEDs circuit board status indicators,
surface mount diode SMT LEDs, full-spectrum rainbow RGB LEDs and Infra-Red
(IR) LEDs.
Prices for Series RAB362 LED Lamps range from $0.75 - $4.95 each in quantities
of 100 or more depending on LED technology. For additional information on
