Avago Introduces High-Brightness Surface Mount Tricolor LEDs

Avago Technologies has introduced a family of compact high-brightness tricolor surface mount (SMT) LEDs for indoor and outdoor full color signs and video displays. The ASMT-YTB0 LEDs, which are available in a PLCC-6 package, provides full color display and video application designers with better color control and contrast, and a 115-degree viewing angle. With dimensions of 4.4 mm by 4.4 mm by 3.5 mm, this new family of LEDs from Avago also incorporates silicone material to extend light output performance over time. The ASMT-YTB0 package is designed to meet indoor and outdoor LED screen requirements for better screen resolution (greater than 12mm pixel size), and high-brightness performance. It also has six-leads to enable individual color control of each color chip to display a multitude of colors including white and enhanced thermal management. The ASMT-YTB0 incorporates a separate heat path for each LED dice to enable it to be driven at higher currents. The family of ASMT-YTB0 LEDs are compatible with reflow soldering processes and have a moisture sensitivity level of 2a (MSL 2a) to make them ideal for use in SMT production environments.
