Unique 4-Leaded RGB LED with Market-Leading 120˚ Viewing Angle

Lumex announces the global launch of the through-hole QuasarBrite 4-Leaded RGB LED. With a market-leading 120° viewing angle, the QuasarBrite 4-Leaded RGB LED is ideally suited for applications that require high intensity light in spatially restricted spaces. Additionally, the QuasarBrite 4-Leaded RGB LED boasts an innovative lead frame design that provides superior heat dissipation and provides opportunities for cost and real estate savings.

The QuasarBrite 4-Leaded RGB LED provides excellent visual performance. Whereas a traditional through-hole LED features a viewing angle of 30° to 60°, the QuasarBrite 4-Leaded RGB LED has a viewing angle of 120°. The RGB format combined with this extended viewing angle provides consistent, well-matched visual performance and even view angle throughout the display.

The QuasarBrite 4-Leaded RGB LED features an enhanced thermal design lead frame, which allows for superior heat dissipation and therefore longer life expectancy. The off-the-board design also provides enhanced convection with air freely passing on all sides of the epoxy for more efficient cooling.

These features make the QuasarBrite 4-Leaded RGB LED ideal for applications that require a matrix of high intensity output with a wide viewing angle including:
  •     High Output Signage (close proximity) (such as airport, retail and hospitality signage);
  •     General lighting (decorative lighting, indicator lighting);
  •     Gaming (decorative and indicator lighting throughout gaming machines);
Kay Fernandez, Product Technology Manager at Lumex explains “Lumex’s new through hole 4-Leaded RGB LED features a redesigned lead frame that allows for higher output thermal conductance and provides superior moisture resistance when compared to typical surface-mount devices.”

The QuasarBrite 4-Leaded RGB LED also provides several opportunities for cost and real estate savings. The use of a single 4-Leaded RGB LED 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 4-Leaded RGB LEDs (part number SSL-LX503SIUPGUSBC) contain three individual dies in red (635nm), green (520nm) and blue (470nm). Samples of these devices are available from stock, with production quantities in 6-8 weeks.  Pricing is dependent on quantity ordered, and is less than one dollar 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
