PCB LEDs Leverage Price And Performance

Robust performance while remaining cost effective are the claims made for a new line of 3-mm pc board LEDs targeted at applications requiring precise alignment of the indicators. The LEDs are available in bi-, tri- and quad-level configurations, as well as with one to four columns. Single colors include high-efficiency red, green and yellow. The bi-color LEDs come in high-efficiency red/green and yellow/high-efficiency green versions. The new LEDs have a life span in excess of 100,000 hr. and, depending on color and package, cost from $0.39 to $6.16 each/1,000. LEDTRONICS INC., Torrance, CA. (800) 579-4875.
