MALVERN, PA — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) has unveiled its latest innovation in LED technology with the launch of new blue and true green surface-mount LEDs. These ultra-compact MiniLEDs, identified as VLMB2332T1U2-08 and VLMTG2332ABCA-08, leverage advanced InGaN chip technology to deliver luminous intensity that significantly exceeds that of their predecessors.
The new LEDs, measuring just 2.2 mm by 1.3 mm by 1.4 mm, provide an optimal solution for applications requiring high brightness in small formats. Their release is timely, addressing the growing demand for compact, yet powerful lighting solutions across various sectors including medical, agricultural, entertainment, and telecommunications.
The VLMTG2332ABCA-08, emitting a typical wavelength of 525 nm at 20 mA, is particularly suited for heart rate monitoring devices, a feature increasingly common in fitness trackers. Its capability to facilitate precise monitoring underscores the importance of reliable and efficient components in health and wellness technology.
Conversely, the VLMB2332T1U2-08, with its typical wavelength of 465 nm at 20 mA, is optimized for smoke detection, highlighting Vishay’s commitment to enhancing safety technologies through superior light detection capabilities.
These MiniLEDs are not only notable for their performance but also for their design and environmental compliance. Encased in a white thermoplast with a lead-frame, they offer broad viewing angles for uniform illumination and are RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and recognized as Vishay Green products. Such attributes make them a forward-thinking choice for manufacturers looking to meet stringent environmental standards.
Compatibility with automatic placement equipment and resilience to electrostatic discharge further ensure these LEDs can be integrated seamlessly into production processes, offering both versatility and durability.
Vishay’s introduction of these high-intensity MiniLEDs marks a significant advancement in LED technology, catering to the evolving needs of industries reliant on precision and efficiency in compact form factors. As companies continue to innovate, the availability of components that combine high performance with environmental sustainability will be crucial in driving forward the development of next-generation products and applications.
