Follow on Google News | Lumex's New OctoLED Is First In Market To Combine SMT Convenience With Thru-Hole T-5MM LED FeaturesLumex OctoLEDs are 1st in the market to combine the convenience of surface-mount technology with the features and capabilities of thru-hole, leaded T-5mm epoxy lenses.
By: Lumex, Inc. The patent-pending OctoLEDs™ devices are the result of a design breakthrough at a time when most assemblies are moving toward SMT technology. “The OctoLED design is a direct replacement to standard 5mm through-hole LEDs,” explains Jeff Oliveros, Director of Engineering at Lumex. “OctoLEDs™ The new OctoLEDs deliver brightness levels of up to 7,000mcd (dependent on color) – a market first from any conventional SMT LED driven by the common If of 20mA. Lumex OctoLEDs™ (Series Number SML-H1505xxx- OctoLEDs have an off-the-board height of 11mm (0.43 inches) and occupy a circuit board footprint which is 6mm x 6mm (0.24 inches x 0.24 inches). They are available on standard 24mm tape for automatic insertion. Lumex OctoLEDs™ are available in the full range of colors including red, yellow, green, blue, or white. Bi-color as well as RGB versions are also offered. The LEDs are available with a variety of lens finishes, opening the door to different viewing angle options, (angle will vary dependent upon lens type). The new units can withstand soldering temperatures of up to 10 seconds at 255º C. A gradual temperature rise of 2º per second reaching 150º C is recommended. Lumex OctoLEDs™ are RoHS compliant. Samples of these devices in standard colors are available from stock, with production quantities in 8 - 12 weeks. Pricing is dependent on color specified and quantity ordered, and is approximately $0.30 per unit in production quantities. # # # Lumex is a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of opto-electronic components, devices and displays.
