Ultra-miniature LEDs designed for wearable, consumer and disposable healthcare applications

Stocked by Digi-Key, Kingbright has launched one of the industry’s smallest SMD LEDs, the HELI-UM series. HELI-UltraMiniature (0201) marks a new era in the SMD LED industry as its size of 0.65mm x 0.35mm x 0.2mm allows most ultra-compact innovative designs to be free of physical restraints. Engineered with AlGalnP and InGaN chips, the LED is ready to shine with exceptional brightness. It fits perfectly into wearable, portable consumer products and disposable healthcare applications. The series is also highly compatible with automatic placement equipment and can be easily utilised similarly to 0201 passive components.
