Sepcification forward current is 20mA, where 2.75-3.2V is dropped. Viewing angle is 146°.

Available now in 8 mm tape, the LEDs are RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, compatible with IR-reflow soldering and preconditioned according to JEDEC Level 2a.

“With their high brightness and small size, the PCB-based devices released today are the perfect choice for small scale products that are expected to work reliably in arduous environments”, said Vishay.

Applications are foreseen in keypad backlights, navigation displays, phones, industrial controls, traffic signals and message boards.
