Vishay Releases New VLMx51 Series of Red, Amber, Yellow, and White Power SMD LEDs

Jul 22, 2010 Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announced the release of new red, amber, yellow, and white power SMD LEDs in the compact PLCC2 Plus package - the VLMx51 series.

Built on InGan and AllnGaP on silicon technology, the VLMR51, VLMK51, VLMY51, and VLMW51devices offer high luminous flux from 8.5 lm to 30.6 lm and luminous intensity from 2,850 mcd to 9,750 mcd. The LEDs provide extremely low junction-to-ambient thermal resistance down to 100 K/W and power dissipation up to 738 mW, which in turn enables high drive currents up to 200 mA.

The devices are compact (3.5-mm by 3.5-mm by 1.2-mm package outline) and are ideal for internal and exterior automotive lighting, signal and symbol illumination, decorative lighting, architectural lighting, backlighting, marker lights, traffic lights,etc.

For automotive applications, the LEDs are automotive qualified AEC-Q101. The VLMx51 devices feature a 60° angle of half-intensity, a luminous flux ratio per packing unit of < 1.6, and are categorized, per packing unit, for luminous flux and color.

The LEDs are complaint to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC, in accordance to WEEE 2002/96/EC, and are compatible with IR-reflow soldering profiles according to J-STD-020. The devices are preconditioned according to JEDEC Level 2a, and offer an ESD-withstand voltage up to 2 kV (HBM) according to JESD22-A114-B.

Samples and production quantities of the new power LEDs are already available .
