Vishay launches blue and true-green ultra-bright LEDs in 2.3mm x 2.3mm x 2.8mm plastic surface-mount packages with dome lenses

The Optoelectronics group of Vishay Intertechnology Inc of Malvern, PA, USA has introduced the Vishay Semiconductors VLD.1232.. series of 465nm blue and 525nm true-green ultra-bright LEDs (VLDB1232.. and VLDTG1232.., respectively) in compact untinted surface-mount packages with dome lenses.

Utilizing the firm’s latest indium gallium nitride (InGaN)/sapphire chip technology and offering a narrow emission angle of ±9° without the need for an external lens, the Vishay Semiconductors VLD.1232.. series delivers luminous intensity of 16,000mcd (typical). Specificially, at a forward current (IF) of 20mA, the ranges of luminous intensities are 7100-28,000mcd for true-green VLDTG1232.. LEDs and 1800-7100mcd for VLDB1232.. LEDs.

Due to their high brightness and small 2.3mm by 2.3mm by 2.8mm plastic cases, the LEDs are suitable for reliable performance in a wide range of applications including traffic signals and signs, interior and exterior lighting, and indicators and backlighting for audio and video equipment, LCD switches and illuminated advertising, says the firm.

Available in gullwing and reverse-gullwing versions, the devices offer high luminous flux, withstand ESD voltages up to 2kV in accordance with JESD22-A114-B, and are luminous- and color-categorized per packing unit. RoHS-compliant, halogen-free and Vishay Green, VLD.1232.. series LEDs are compatible with reflow soldering processes per J-STD-020 and processable according to JEDEC Level 2a.

Samples and production quantities are available now, with lead times of eight weeks.
