TORRANCE, CA — February 28, 2001 — LEDtronics® announces the availability of 0805-Profile Miniature SurfLEDsTM (light emitting diodes)
for SMT (surface mount technology) processes. The 0805-Profile SurfLED measures
2mm x 1.25mm, comes in six colors and several related hues, on EIA standard
8mm tape seven-foot reels, and with a viewing angle of 140º. LEDtronics
offers 0805-Profile SurfLEDs in two dazzling intensities: (1) High Efficiency
and (2) Super Bright. Depending on the color, High-Efficiency 0805-Profile
SurfLEDs offer typical luminous intensities from 2.0 mcd to 20 mcd at 20
mA current; Super-Bright 0805-Profile SurfLEDs offer typical luminous intensities
from 25 mcd to 60 mcd at 20 mA current.
Additionally, using SurfLEDs with
LEDtronics OptiLED Light Pipes simplifies the spatial relationship between
the PCB (printed circuit board) and remote indicator illumination points
by channeling all of the LED-generated light to the exact location where
the light is required. Compatible with infrared and vapor phase reflow
soldering processes and pick-and-place automated equipment, 0805-Profile SurfLEDs’ are
effective tools to cut the cost of PCB assembly without compromising product
integrity. 0805-Profile SurfLEDs broaden the illumination options available
for back lighting computer panels, handheld instruments, data- and tele-communication
status indicators, etc... .
High-Efficiency 0805-Profile SurfLEDs are available in Super Red (660nm,
20 mcd), High-Efficiency Red (635nm, 12 mcd), Amber (610nm, 15 mcd) Yellow
(585nm, 10 mcd), Hi-Efficiency Green (568nm, 18 mcd), Green (568nm, 15 mcd)
and Pure Green (555nm, 2.0 mcd). Super-Bright 0805s come in Super Red (660nm,
25 mcd), Ultra Red (660nm, 40 mcd), Super Orange (620nm, 20 mcd), Soft Orange
(610nm, 50 mcd), Super Yellow (595 nm, 60 mcd / 587nm, 60 mcd), Aqua Green
(523nm, 60 mcd) and Blue (470nm, 40 mcd).
Solid-state design renders LEDs impervious to electrical and mechanical
shock, vibration, frequent switching and environmental extremes. With an
average life span of 100,000-plus hours (11 years), LEDs operate 17 times
longer than incandescent lamps! LEDs are environmentally friendly because
they use 80% to 90% less operating power than standard incandescent bulbs.
Founded in 1983, LEDtronics® 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 Panel Mount LED Lamps,
high intensity sunlight-visible Discrete LEDs, PCB LEDs circuit board status
indicators, surface mount diodes SMT LEDs, full-spectrum rainbow RGB LEDs
and Infra-Red (IR) LEDs.
Depending on choice of color, prices for 0805-Profile Miniature SurfLED
SMT LEDs range
from $0.14 each - $1.14 in quantities of 500. 0805-Profile LEDs carry
a three-year limited warranty. Samples are available for qualified customers.
