TI-3/4(5mm) MIDGET BASED LEDs

Category: Electronics, Ledtronics Inc, Optoelectronics

LEDtronics presents its series of TI-3/4(5mm) Midget Based LEDs, which are designed to be direct replacements for standard incandescents, offering an extended life span of 100,000 hours or about 10 years. These LEDs are suitable for applications involving 2-4 lamp lighted push-button switches, annunciators, and panel indicators, especially where high shock and vibration resistance are required.

Features

These energy-efficient LEDs are built with a current-limiting resistor allowing for direct connection to a range of AC or DC voltages from 2V to 120V. They provide high-intensity illumination, are low current-power saving, and offer optional burn-in for increased reliability. Users can select from 8 colors and benefit from features such as secure lighting for night vision goggles (NVG) compatibility and a choice of brightness levels up to 500% more than conventional models.

Replacements and Model Information

The series includes models that replace a wide range of incandescent bulbs, indicated by specific part numbers for models F206/FS206, FL206/FX206, F200/F202, and others, across different configurations like Midget Flange, Midget Groove, and Midget Screw. LEDs come in various lens colors and brightness codes, with options such as red, orange, amber, yellow, lime yellow, green, pure green, and blue. Brightness codes detail the intensity of the LED, and lens types are either clear or translucent (diffused).

Polarity and Electrical Characteristics

Electrical specifications detail the voltage and current requirements for each model, with some requiring external resistors. Polarity is expressed as the center contact, either anode (+) or cathode (-), and options are available for bipolar AC/DC operation.

Special Options

In addition to standard offerings, special features include bicolor LEDs, high-visibility options such as sunlight-visible and high-ultra reds, as well as infrared LEDs in wavelengths of 940nm, 880nm, and 850nm. High-power LEDs for more demanding applications and low-current LEDs suitable for battery operation are also available.

Dimensions and Lens Types

Details of the dimensions are given for each model, including the inch measurements for both length (Dimension A) and lens diameter (Dimension B). Lens types are categorized under codes C (clear), CW (water clear), T (translucent), and TW (translucent white). The document also includes a note on the requirement of external resistors for specific models.

Ordering Information

LEDtronics advises that orders or sample requests should indicate the incandescent lamp number being replaced. When selecting the LED color, it is recommended that it matches the existing lens color, noting that a colorless translucent white lens is optimal.
