Lumex Launches Innovative 3-Watt AstraLED RGB LED

Lumex announces an expansion of the company’s extensive line of high-power technologies with the introduction of AstraLED™ RGB, an innovative high-power LED that combines cost and space savings with superior color performance.

“AstraLED RGB is ideal for a wide variety of kitchen appliance, communications equipment, medical device, automotive and sign applications that require bright, intense light with low power consumption,” explains Jeff Oliveros, Director of Engineering for Lumex. “High-power LEDs are a rapidly growing market and innovative RGB high-power LEDs represent the latest generation of technology designed to enhance efficiencies and provide design engineers with greater opportunities for color innovation.”

The use of an AstraLED RGB can result in up to a 30% cost savings , as well as 67% real estate package savings when compared to the use of individual high power red, green and blue packages. The use of a single RGB package also enhances production efficiencies as a single part number eliminates the need for three separate LED part numbers.

The high-power AstraLED RGB provides color rendering performance that is superior to traditional phosphor converted high-power white LED technologies. This feature offers enhanced color consistency and is especially beneficial in both consumer and commercial appliance lighting applications that require warm white that closely matches incandescent lighting, such as accent lighting or landscape lighting.

The RoHS compliant AstraLED RGB provides ultra-bright, full-color output in a 3-Watt high-power package.  AstraLED RGBs deliver light intensity of 8/25/20 lumens respectively at 300mA (red), 350mA (green) and 350mA (blue) of current with an operating temperature of -30˚C ~ +85˚C.

AstraLED RGBs have an off-the-board height of 3.3mm (0.13 inches) and occupy a circuit board footprint which is 10mm x 16mm (0.39 inches x 0.63 inches).  They are available in tubes for automatic insertion.

The new units can withstand standard lead-free reflow soldering temperatures up to 260˚C.

Samples of these devices are available from stock, with production quantities in 6-8 weeks.  Pricing is dependent on quantity ordered, and is approximately $4.00 per unit in production quantities.

Biasi Develops ActivA Unique Boiler Range Biasi UK has developed ActivA, a new range of high efficiency A rated condensing boilers boasting a unique heat exchanger. The launch of ActivA is further testimony to the company's commitment to strengthen its position in the UK domestic gas boiler market. At the heart of ActivA is a newly developed pre-mix condensing heat exchanger that is manufactured in a corrosion resistant, pressure moulded aluminium. Its sectional construction means it can be easily adjusted for different boiler outputs and its 'multipass' design ensures very low resistance for both combustion and water passage. This unique heat exchanger carries a five year guarantee. Designed to provide outstanding heating performance at an affordable price for almost all types of domestic properties, the compact range boasts some of the smallest boilers available - at just 700mm high x 400 wide and only 290mm deep - thereby allowing installation in cupboards.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as
