July 13, 2005 08:01 — SML5050RBG1K-TR low profile, surface mount
full-spectrum Red, Green, and Blue LEDs feature water clear lens that
protects diode array from electrical and mechanical shock, vibration,
frequent switching, and environmental extremes. At 5.5 x 5.5 mm and with
variable wavelengths, red (620–630 nm), green (520–535 nm), and blue
(460–475 nm) diodes offer viewing angle of 120°. Luminous intensities
range from 150–500 mcd at 20 mA current and LEDs have average life span
of 100,000+ hr.

Full-Spectrum Surface Mount RGB LED Provides High Intensity Colors
TORRANCE, CA — July 5, 2005 — LEDtronics introduces
the SML5050RBG1K-TR — a low profile, surface mount full-spectrum Red,
Green and Blue LED (RGB LED). These discrete LEDs provide excellent
performance and terrific visibility in a compact size of only 5.5mm x
5.5mm. The red, green and blue diodes emit high-intensity light in a
viewing angle of 120°. The red diode's wavelength varies between a
minimum of 620nm and a maximum 630nm. The wavelength of the green diode is
between a minimum of 520nm and a maximum of 535nm. Blue operates between
460nm and 475nm. Depending on the color, luminous intensities range from
150 mcd to 500 mcd at 20 mA current. A water clear lens protects the diode
array.
Use SML5050RGB LEDs with LEDtronics OptiLED Light Pipes
to simplify the spatial relationship between the PCB and remote indicator
illumination points. Light pipes channel all of the LED-generated light to
the exact location where the light is required. Compatibility with
infrared and vapor phase reflow soldering processes and pick-and-place
automated equipment make the Series SML5050RGB LEDs effective tools in
cutting costs in PCB assembly while maintaining product integrity. Series
SML5050 LEDs broaden the illumination options available for back lighting
computer panels, handheld instruments like PDAs, data- and tele-communication
status indicators, etc. Solid-state design renders LEDs impervious to
electrical and mechanical shock, vibration, frequent switching and
environmental extremes. With an average life span of 100,000-plus hours
(11 years), LEDs operate reliably year after year and are virtually
maintenance free.
