Description
These chip type LEDs utilize Aluminium Indium Galium
Phosphide (AlInGaP) material technology. The AlInGaP
material has a very high luminous eciency, capable of
producing high light output over a wide range of drive
currents. The available colors in this surface mount series
are 592 nm Amber, 605 nm Orange, 626 nm Red and 639
nm Deep Red.
All packages are binned by both color and intensity, ex-
cept for red and deep red color.
These ChipLEDs come either in low prole top emit-
ting packages (HSMx-C177/C197), in a side emitting
package (HSMx-C120) or in a reverse mount package
(HSMx-C265). The right angle ChipLED is suitable for ap-
plications such as LCD back lighting. The top emitting
ChipLEDs with wide viewing angle are suitable for light
piping and direct backlighting of keypads and panels.
The reverse mount ChipLED is suitable for space saving.
In order to facilitate pick and place operation, these Chi-
pLEDs are shipped in tape and reel, with 4000 units per
reel for HSMx-C120/C177/C197 and 3000 units per reel
for HSMx-C265.
These packages are compatible with IR soldering pro-
cess.
