Mouser broadens LED lineup with solutions designed to support lighting, medical and smart home applications
Mouser Electronics expands its range of LED products to cater to a variety of diverse applications.
The implementation of LED lighting has become widespread with the technology used in various areas, such as commercial and residential lighting, video displays, and industrial human-machine interfaces (HMI). Residential buildings, workplaces, and roads have experienced a remarkable change thanks to the implementation of LED lighting. LED bulbs save money in terms of reduced running costs in comparison to outdated filament bulbs and they have significantly longer lifespans, often lasting tens of thousands of hours. Furthermore, LED lighting is not limited to traditional applications and is driving progress across many industries. Matrixes and dynamic animated solutions are being employed across industrial and smart home goods to provide visual feedback. In fitness and healthcare, LEDs are playing a crucial role in optical vital sign monitoring in smartwatches and other wearables. As a result, LEDs are now widespread in their use and, for many projects, are an essential electronic component.
New LED product highlights available from Mouser include the following:
• The LUXEON 2835 Commercial Mid-Power LEDs from LUMILEDS are designed for commercial indoor lighting solutions, especially suiting applications when the key development metrics are lumens per watt and lumens per cost. The LUXEON 2835 range offers best-in-class flux, colour consistency, robustness, and reliability for commercial indoor luminaires, while an industry-standard footprint allows easy drop-in replacement. With a variety of correlated colour temperature (CCTs) and colour rendering indexes (CRIs) available, the 2835 lineup is suitable for applications such as panel/soft lights, linear lighting applications, and troffers. All 2835 LEDs are RoHS compliant and offer exceptional illumination with a wide 160° total included angle.
• With its compact size and versatile design, the APBA2006 RA Bi-Colour SMD LEDs from Kingbright are ideal for a wide range of applications, such as backlights, status indicators, smart appliances, and wearables, including medical devices. The SMD LEDs exhibit low power consumption, high-intensity bi-colour output and robust construction, with a working temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and a moisture sensitivity level of 3. These RA bi-colour SMD LEDs are available in five different colour combinations, are halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and offer a wide viewing angle of 140° from the side-emitting diodes.
• The low power MULTILED® SFH 7018x from ams OSRAM are engineered to support the ever-expanding digital diagnostics and smart health wearable devices. Featuring a cutting-edge three-in-one multi-emitter, the SFH 7018x enables precise and reliable monitoring of heart rate and SpO2 levels in green, red, and infrared wavelengths. The sophisticated 2-cavity design minimises interferences between the green chip, red chip, and IR chip, and allows for optimal placement of the light sources in relation to their respective photodiodes. Two RoHS compliant variants are available, with the SFH 7018A optimised for low Vf at high current.
• The LP5813 4 × 3 Matrix RGB LED Driver from Texas Instruments is a synchronous boost RGB driver with autonomous animation engine control. The LP5813 is designed for LED animation and indication in devices ranging from portable and wearable electronics to smart devices and industrial HMI. The integrated synchronous boost converter ensures high efficiency and consistent LED brightness across a broad range of operating voltages and supports LED forward voltages of 3V to 5.5V in steps of 0.1 V. The autonomous animation engine can substantially reduce the real-time loading of the controller. Each LED can be individually programmed to create vivid and dynamic lighting effects, with synchronisation of effects across multiple devices possible.
