5312F1

LEDs – Circuit Board Indicators, Arrays, Light Bars, Bar Graphs incluede devices such as the 5312F1. This LED has an applications field and a specific working principle.

Applications Field

The 5312F1 is a Light Emitting Diode (LED) with a dual LED indicator bar graph which is used for panel mount display in a variety of industrial and commercial instrumentation. This device has high brightness with a wide viewing angle making it ideal for applications that require the viewing of the LED indicator from many angles. A bright and clear display is also important in these applications where the display must be visible even when the ambient light is low. The wide viewing angle of this device means it is also suitable for outdoor displays.

The device features an independent indication bar graph providing two separate indication segments. The bar graph provides two bar styles which can be used appropriately depending on the application needs. The bar style can be selected using a switch on the device. The double diode structure permits easier control by the connected controller circuit thereby providing greater versatility.

Working Principle

The 5312F1 device works on the principle of electroluminescence. This device consists of dual LED illuminated bars that produce light when electricity is passed through them. The light is divided into independent segments and can be lit or unlit allowing the controller to indicate specific conditions to the user. The brightness and color of the LEDs may also be controlled to indicate parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure etc. This can be used in conjunction with audio or visual alarms to allow for quick notification or warnings.

The 5312F1 device works by the application of a control voltage across the device. This control voltage is then used to drive the current through the bars and produce the light. The current is regulated and limited to maintain the device\'s brightness and color. The device also contains a heat sink to dissipate heat generated by the LEDs and prevents them from burning out.

In conclusion, the 5312F1 LED is a versatile and efficient LED device which is widely used in a range of industrial and commercial instrumentation. It has a wide viewing angle and bright and clear display which is especially important in low ambient light applications. The dual LED indicator bar graph provides two separate indication segments which can be lit or unlit depending on the application. The current through the device is regulated and limited to maintain its brightness and color, and the device also contains a heat sink to dissipate heat generated by the LEDs.
