Components: Tri-Color Bright LED Dies Come In Low-Profile SMT Packages

March 29, 2004

Packing a luminous density of up to 220 mcd at a forward current of 20 mA, the Tri-Color 1312CE series LED dies squeeze into 1.6- by 3.0- by 0.7-mm surface-mount (SMT) packages. Each die contains three individual LEDs of red, green, and blue (FRGB) or amber, green, and blue (FAGB). Both packages come with diffused lenses with a viewing angle up to 150° and operate from −40°C to 85°C. Other features include 81 to 98 mW of power dissipation, 25 to 30 mA of forward current, 100 mA of peak forward current, and 4 V of reverse voltage. The 1312CE FRGB and FAGB series cost $1.26 and $1.30 each, respectively, in 100-unit lots. Lead time is 12 weeks.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
