High power LED fits standard footprint
To ease prototyping and the transfer to production volumes, the TO220 high power LED has mounting pads that fit a standard TO220 footprint. This makes it easy for designers to incorporate into prototype designs, says OMC.
Originally designed and manufactured for a customer’s industrial microscope application, the OMC TO220 high power LED has been released as a standard OMC product. High power LEDs are used for applications where large amounts of light need to be generated from a small emitting area, for example in solid state lighting, signalling and alarm beacons and automotive illumination.
The high power LEDs generate more light than a standard LED due to their large area LED dies mounted on a high thermal conductivity leadframe. OMC introduced the TO220 package 1.0 and 3.0W high power LEDs 15 years ago.
This new OMC TO220 high power LED has been re-designed. It is a 1.0W device with high luminous flux at its nominal current of 350mA. It is available in daylight white, warm white, red, green, blue and yellow. It has been designed to work with TO220 accessories, such as mounting kits with heat sinks and thermal pads, it is simple to design into a new prototype design or transfer into an existing product, says OMC.
OMC was founded in the mid-1980s as The Fibre-Data Group. OMC is one of the longest-established specialist manufacturers of optoelectronics in Europe, headquartered in Cornwall, UK. It is accredited to ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007. The company says it is a pioneer in the development, manufacture and application of cutting-edge LED and fibre-optic technologies for a industries and companies worldwide, and places a major focus on research and development, engineering and innovation.
OMC has four key manufacturing divisions: Fibre Optics; LED Backlights and Optical Mouldings; Discrete Optoelectronic Components; and Semiconductor (LED) Lighting.
