Chip LEDs Are Super Thin

With a height profile of 0.8 mm, the VLMx1300 series chip LEDs employ the company’s ChipLED technology to create smaller end products. All VLMx1300 series components come on PCBs measuring 1.6 mm x 0.8 mm x 0.55 mm and provide s 130° viewing angle. Available colors include super red, soft orange, yellow, yellow green, true green, blue, and white. Color LEDs have a luminous intensity as high as 450 mcd at a forward current of 20 mA and a maximum forward voltage of 3.8V. Blue is available with a protection diode for ESD immunity up to 8 kV. The white LED has a maximum luminous intensity of 180 mcd at a forward current of 5 mA and a maximum forward voltage of 3.15V. Depending on color, pricing ranges from $2 to $4 each/100.
