Ultra-thin surface-mount RGB LEDs can produce any colour in the visible spectrum

Kingbright's KPGF Series of ultra-thin surface-mount RGB LEDs is now available in the UK from Components Bureau. The KPGF products combine separate green, blue and hyper red light sources to produce any colour in the visible spectrum. The compact devices with a thickness of only 0.2mm are suitable for space limited applications, ranging from wearable technologies to display backlights and indicators, home appliances and office automation. With a footprint of just 0.65mm x 0.65mm, the smallest KPGF-0606 series has a wide viewing angle of up to 145 degrees with high brightness levels offering easy readability in a variety of ambient lighting conditions. Compatible with automatic placement equipment, the new KPGF range comes in reel sizes of 4,000 pieces and features a moisture sensitivity level of three. All full-colour SMD KPGF devices maintain a low forward current of 5mA during operation, are suitable for use in temperatures between -40C and +85C and are RoHS compliant, says the company.
