Traditional top emitting PLCC packages in the industry standard 3.5 mm x 2.8 mm package have been diversely used across many design platforms over the years. The vast demands for discrete backlighting while maintaining high intensities with wide viewing angle emission requirements have allowed SunLED to design the next generation reverse-mount PLCC RGB SMD LED, the XZMDKCBDDG45S-9. This LED maintains the same package size and footprint as the most popular PLCC package; however, it is engineered for reverse-mount use.

A redesign of the winged leads provides a more solid and robust soldering area. The wide viewing angle of 120° delivers a uniform light pattern while allowing a better color mixture when multiple colors are activated. This well-constructed design is an ideal package for backlighting, medical equipment, security devices, home automation, white goods, and consumer electronics.
