LED Indication - Discrete

LEDs are increasingly the preferred indicator for various OEM and aftermarket applications. Finding the right LED for a particular function can be both a challenge and an investment. For this reason, it is important to understand both the application and working principle of the particular model being considered. Taking one example, the HLMP-EH16-TW000 is a recent development from the leading LED component manufacturer, Sharp. Designed for indication applications in computers, telecommunications, and other equipment, this discrete LED stands out from the rest in its capacity for high performance and versatility. Below, we’ll take a look at the application field and working principle for the HLMP-EH16-TW000.

Application Field

The HLMP-EH16-TW000 is a discrete LED, meaning it serves best in separate indicator settings rather than as part of an array or cluster. It is suitable for mounting onto a printed circuit board, though flat panel mounting is also possible. A wide range of potential applications exist, including the following:

• Computer and telecommunications equipment
• Consumer electronics
• Measuring instruments
• Remote control devices
• Indicator lighting for devices such as air conditioners, hot water heaters, and smoke detectors

The HLMP-EH16-TW000 fares best in short-term applications of up to 500mA or 10 seconds. Its use in long-term applications is not recommended.

Working Principle

The HLMP-EH16-TW000 is a dynamic indicator light, featuring two separate channels that can be set to two different colors (blue/white in this model). This allows the light to be used to indicate two states in one device. For example, a blue light could be used to indicate a button depress, while a white light could indicate a successful transaction. Such a device would be useful, for instance, in a vending machine.

The HLMP-EH16-TW000 operates by DC current, with a voltage rating between 5V and 14V DC. This enables the use of a single voltage and current in both channels, meaning the user only needs to supply one power source. The two colors of the two-channel devices alternate between the two colors in a 1:1 ratio cycle.

Because of this dynamic functionality, the HLMP-EH16-TW000 is suitable for applications using a lower power supply than most other indicator LEDs. For example, the power consumption of this device is approximately 50% of the power consumption of LED indicators using single-color channels. This is an ideal setup for low-power applications that rely on their indicator lighting to be economical.

Conclusion

The HLMP-EH16-TW000 is a discrete LED in the “LED Indication - Discrete” category, designed for a wide range of applications and delivering high performance, low power consumption, and enhanced versatility. With two active channels that can be set to two different colors, it is a great option for applications that require two states or a dynamic indication of switching between states. Its voltage rating across 5V to 14V DC also makes it a great option for long-term and low-power applications.
