LEDs - Circuit Board Indicators, Arrays, Light Bars, Bar Graphs

LEDs are a type of optoelectronic component that emit light when current passes through them. They are used in a variety of applications to indicate status, highlight features, or generate illumination. The most common type of LED is the standard 2-pin 5mm device, which is available in a range of colors. Other types of LEDs include: surface mount devices, multicolor LEDs, lateral power LEDs, and surface mountable device (SMD) LEDs.

5612201100 is a type of SMD LED from the 5612 series. It is a stand-off mounting type, surface mountable device with a dual color construction, allowing red and yellow lights to be generated from a single package. This type of LED is well suited for through-hole and wave soldering applications, due to its surface mountable nature.

Application Fields Of 5612201100

The 5612201100 is well suited for industrial applications, such as remote control systems, audio/visual systems, alarm systems, and office equipment. It\'s commonly used in alphanumeric displays, giving it an advantage over other types of LEDs, which cannot easily be illuminated to display text. The dual color nature of the device makes it simple to switch between red and yellow as required.

In terms of automotive applications, the 5612201100 is widely used in instrument panels, warning signs, and headlights. It is also used in some types of automotive lighting applications, such as in traffic control systems and exterior lighting on vehicles. This LED is unique in its ability to generate both yellow and red light, making it an attractive choice for automotive applications.

Working Principle of 5612201100

5612201100 LEDs operate using a principle called electroluminescence. In this process, electrons in a semiconductor material become excited when a voltage is applied across it. These electrons then relax back to their ground state, emitting a photon of light in the process. The wavelength of the light generated depends on the band gap of the semiconductor material used.

The LED package consists of two terminals - an anode (+) and a cathode (-). When a voltage is applied between the two terminals, a current passes through the LED and electrons are excited. The number and wavelength of photons emitted is proportional to the amount of current passing through the LED.

These LEDs can typically be operated within a range of 3.5V to 20V, with a maximum forward current of 50mA. The operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C. The typical luminous intensity of the 5612201100 is 85mcd (red) and 300mcd (yellow).

LEDs are a versatile type of device, and the 5612201100 is no exception. Its small size, low power consumption and dual color properties make it ideal for a variety of applications. It is well suited for industrial, automotive and office equipment applications, and is available in a range of colors.
