OctoLED Offers Through Hole LED Features in SMT Package

Lumex announces a new line of surface-mount devices that represent the first commercial technology to combine the convenience of surface-mount technology (SMT) with the features and capabilities of through-hole, leaded T-5mm epoxy lens LEDs.

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™ are ideal for any situation where there is a need to transition from through-hole to SMT technology, without sacrificing the light emission features of epoxy lenses.”

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-TR) can be used anywhere the convenience of surface mounting is required, with the high brightness, color and viewing angle choices of standard T-5mm LEDs.  Such applications include front panel, PCB multi-LED, industrial control or fault indicators. Additional applications include circuit fault and large scale muti-color light bars, large display edge illumination, dot matrix moving sign displays and other dot matrix arrays where each LED needs to be individually-addressable.

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.

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
