ROHM Semiconductor Announced High Reliability High Brightness LEDs Optimized for Automotive Exterior Lighting
ROHM Semiconductor has recently announced its new ultra-high-bright PLCC4 LED SML-Y1 Series for optimum light emission, reliability and power efficiency. Featuring 4 pins, the series is the latest addition to the PLCC line-up. While providing the same guaranteed oper¬ating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C), its derating characteristics have been significantly enhanced compared to PLCC 2 packages. A gold-plated frame is utilized for superior sulfuration resistance.
SuitCustomers can select from three different models for multiple efficiency and design options - the large current type SML-Y17U2T with a maximum driving current of 150mA, the high efficiency type SML-Y16U2T (IF max 70mA), and the standard type SML-Y15U2T (IF max 70mA).
Specifications
Chip structure: AlGaInP
Forward voltage: 2.3V, IF 50 – 140mA
Reverse Current IR: max. 10mA, VR 12V
