Overview of SCHURTER LED Holders

SCHURTER’s datasheet presents detailed technical information on LED Holders designed for both front panel and PCB mounting, accommodating 3mm and 5mm LEDs in various configurations. These holders are available in both straight and angled forms, providing flexibility in design and application. Choices of LED colors include green, red, and yellow, implying usage in environments requiring clear and differentiated indicator signals.

Technical Specifications

The datasheet lists critical performance parameters of the LEDs such as let-through current (DC IF max) of 30 mA, power loss (PV max) of 100 mW, and forward voltage ranging from a typical value of 2.0V up to a maximum of 3.0V, with luminous intensity values specified for each color. The viewing angle for all colors is uniform at 60 degrees. Peak wavelength specifications provide typical values for each color, indicating their respective positions in the visible spectrum. The LEDs’ reverse voltage is typically rated at 15V, ensuring reliable operation against reverse polarity.

Material and Environmental Compliance

The holder’s socket is made from thermoplastic, and it is noted for its resistance to soldering heat, withstanding 260°C for 5 seconds according to the IEC 60068-2-20 Test Tb method. This suggests the product’s durability and suitability to withstand harsh industrial soldering processes.

Approvals, Compliances, and Applications

SCHURTER has secured approvals from independent testing bodies, adhering to national and international standards. Specific models meeting advanced requirements for industries like automotive (IATF 16949), medical technology (ISO 13485), or aerospace are available with customer-specific agreements.

Regarding regulatory compliances, the product aligns with the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, including the Amendment (EU) 2015/863, indicating the restriction of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. It also meets the requirements of the REACH Regulation (EC) No 907/2006 for chemicals and their safe use.
