Market-Leading Compact SMD RGB LED Package Size Offers Cost and Energy Savings

Lumex announces the global launch of the surface mounted QuasarBrite 0404 RGB LED. The QuasarBrite 0404 RGB LED’s compact 1.0mm x 1.00mm x 0.25mm package size is the smallest RGB LED package available today and is ideally suited for multicolor LED indicator applications in restricted spaces. The optimized, fully-automated production process used to produce the QuasarBrite 0404 RGB LED also generates up to 25% cost savings compared to alternative 0404 RGB LED technologies.

The QuasarBrite 0404 RGB LED combines excellent visual performance, low energy requirements and compact size making the technology ideally suited for multicolor LED indicator applications including:
  •     Communications equipment (servers, networks, gateways, headsets, phone equipment, handheld communication devices);
  •     Personal electronics (cell phone indicators, backlights for display screens and keypads);
  •     Portable medical device (pulse oximeters, defribulators, glucometers);
  •     Backlighting (backlighting for LCDs, switches, decorative lighting)
“As technologies become more advanced, full color indicator lights play a key role in communicating  a wide range of different status messages to users,” explained Kay Fernandez, Product Technology Manager at Lumex. “With market-leading compact size and efficient production processes – the QuasarBrite 0404 RGB LED allows brands to cost effectively and space efficiently integrate full color RGB indicator lights into their products.”

The QuasarBrite 0404 RGB LED provides excellent visual performance with bright colors and a 120° viewing angle. Low energy consumption simplifies heat dissipation as the QuasarBrite RGB LED provides reliable performance at low current outputs (30/25/10 mA respectively for R/G/B).

The QuasarBrite 0404 RGB LED also provides several opportunities for cost and real estate savings. The use of a single 0404 can result in up to a 30% cost savings as well as a 70% real estate savings compared to the use of individual red, green and blue packages. Replacing three parts with a single part number also simplifies ordering and maintenance processes.

The RoHS compliant QuasarBrite 0404 RGB LEDs (part number SML-LX0404SIUPGUSB) have an operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C. Samples of these devices are available from stock, with production quantities in 10-12 weeks.  Pricing is dependent on quantity ordered, and ranges from $0.25 to $0.50 per unit in production quantities.

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

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to
