A01BC

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are semiconductor light sources used in many applications. LEDs are fast and efficient light sources, providing a spectral range from visible to near infrared. LEDs are easy to use and require very few components, and in some cases, no additional components. They are used for illumination, signage, automotive, process control, and data communication.

A01BC are a type of LED designed for circuit board indicators. They are equipped with flat opposite base and leads and are offered in multiple wattages and brightness levels with voltage variants from 3.2V to 25V. They also provide a wide range of viewing angles, ranging from 0° to 10°. They are designed to be used with a printed circuit board, with their flat opposite base providing a secure connection that allows the board to be mounted to a surface. In addition, they feature 3 mm and 4 mm sizes, which offer maximum flexibility for applications.

A01BC LEDs work on the principle of electron-hole recombination, also known as electroluminescence. In an LED, when electricity is applied, electrons move from the anode to the n-type semiconductor. Holes move from the p-type semiconductor to the anode and when the electrons and holes meet, a photon is released in the form of light. The light generated by an LED is directly proportional to the amount of current applied: a greater current results in a brighter LED.

A01BC LEDs are used in many applications including signal indication, board status indication, control panel indication, switch backlighting, indicators, motor/gear drives and automotive lighting. They can be used in signal indication applications such as turn signal alerts, doorbells and indicators, as well as in control panel indication applications such as audio equipment, HVAC systems, and lighting systems. They can also be used in switch backlighting applications such as mobile phones, remote controls and automotive displays. Lastly, A01BC LEDs are popular in motor and gear drives, providing a visual warning of mechanical system malfunctions.

A01BC LEDs provide a cost-effective, reliable, and energy efficient solution for many applications. They are available in a variety of wattages, brightness levels, and viewing angles, making them a versatile option for any design. Furthermore, their flat opposite terminals allow for easy mounting on a printed circuit board. As such, A01BC LEDs are a great option for circuit board indicators, arrays, light bars, bar graphs, and many other applications.
