Avago Technologies - High-Brightness Surface-Mount LEDs in Tiny PLCC-6 Packages

Designers are choosing surface-mount LEDs because of their ease of assembly, compact footprint, and manufacturing flexibility, which reduce overall system development costs. The ASMT-YTx2 surface-mount devices are encapsulated in a heat- resistant silicone material, enabling them to operate in a wide range of environmental conditions with high reliability and long operating life. The LEDs have six leads that provide flexible color control for each chip to display a multitude of colors, including white. The devices are also water-resistant (compliance with IPx6), which reduces the cost and overall weight of signs by eliminating the need for protective covers.

“The market for indoor and outdoor displays presents a significant growth opportunity for LEDs over the coming years,” said Francis Khor, director of marketing for the Optoelectronics Product Division at Avago. “Avago’s ASMT-YTx2 LEDs are engineered to meet the display market’s demand for reliable high-brightness, high-resolution performance, all at a competitive cost.”
