HLMP-CM25-X10DD

LED Indication - Discrete

LEDs are an important element in the field of discrete signalling. An LED (light emitting diode or direct emission diode) is an isolated semiconductor element that emits light when a current is passed through it. Additionally, it gives off electromagnetic radiation, creating an invisible optical signal that is visible to others. LEDs are popular front panel components, as they offer a large range of application fields and working principles, allowing them to be used as an beacon, warning or indication, or providing visual indication of a state, or process.

A perfect example of this is the HLMP-CM25-X10DD LED. It is a two-colour LED that combines two LED chips in a single package, which gives off both red and green LEDs, in either common anode or common cathode configurations. This dual, two-colour LED offers a great range of application fields, such as signalling (red for alarms, warning, or caution, and green for operation), or as visual indication of a status, such as on/off. The HLMP-CM25-X10DD LED is also notable for its compact dimensions and soft-touch feel, making it ideal for front panel applications.

In addition to the front panel applications, the HLMP-CM25-X10DD LED is also suitable for use in monitoring systems and control cabinets. It can be used to indicate a warning or fault, or to show the status of a system or process. By using two LED chips in the same package, it is possible to indicate different states with a single LED, or link the two chips to indicate whether a device is on or off.

The working principle of the HLMP-CM25-X10DD LED is based on a semiconductor element that is designed to emit light when a current is passed through it. This light emission can be directed in a particular pattern, making it possible to create unidirectional or multiple-angle lighting effects. Additionally, the chemical composition of the LED material dictates the colour of the light emitted, with an array of coloured LEDs available, from green to yellow, orange, and red.

The HLMP-CM25-X10DD LED also uses a unique contact formation on the mount structure, which enables more secure assembly, and fewer contact problems. This allows for a higher degree of contact reliability and lifetime, as well as more efficient electrical connection.

The HLMP-CM25-X10DD LED is a great example of the wide range of application fields and working principles that are possible with LEDs. By combining two LED chips in a single package, it is capable of producing multiple-angle or unidirectional lighting effects, while using a unique contact formation to ensure a secure assembly and a high degree of contact reliability. LEDs have become a standard part of discret signalling, as they can be used in a variety of front panel applications and monitoring systems, allowing them to be used as an indication of status, warning, or process.
