Surface mount LEDs for light pipes

30 June 2004 Opto-Electronics

BivarOpto has introduced a new RGB (red, green, blue) surface-mount LED exclusively designed for use with the company's patented Flexible Light Pipes (FLP Series). This one-step installation solution eliminates the need for through-hole PCBs typically required for installation of light pipes. It provides a light source from point of origin to instrument or display panels, whether local or remote.

Available in RGB and bi-colour styles, the new SMPT RGB Series expands the benefits of using Bivar's original FLP series, which introduced a two-piece flexible light pipe system capable of transmitting the light from an LED to a display panel up to 100 m away. In addition to eliminating the need for PCB through-holes, the series also avoids the costly secondary post-reflow operations by integrating the adapter and LED into a single surface-mountable package that is compatible with all modern, automated pick-and-place equipment.

Each SMPT RGB module can be used as an individual full colour pixel in fixed or moving messages, providing a brilliant LED display capable of being extended to 100 m via the FLP mono-fibre. The SMPT RGB Series incorporates the same leadframe and footprint as BivarOpto's Pix-Tek Series that uses three individually addressable LED die. Each LED chip shares the basic optics, reflector and lens, creating an all-in-one SMT LED package with solderable tabs for SMT mounting.
