The TLMx2100 and TLMx2300 MiniLEDs, which come in typical wavelengths from 465 to 630 nm, provide high brightness levels at 10 mA and 20 mA, respectively. These devices target automotive and industrial applications. The 2100 color options include super red, orange and yellow (7.5 mcd), green (10 mcd), pure green (2.2 mcd), and blue (7 mcd). The 2300 aluminum-indium-gallium-phosphate-on-gallium-arsenide LEDs have higher-brightness color options of ultra-bright red (80 mcd) and orange and yellow (120 mcd). Both come in EIA and ICE packages with a 120° intensity angle. Operating temperature ranges from −40°C to 100°C. Prices for 100,000-unit lots range from $7.50 to $25.00 each. Availability is from stock to six weeks.
