SSL-LX25593GD

LED Indication – Discrete

LEDs (Light-emitting Diodes) are widely used as discrete indicators for design engineers in a variety of applications, from automotive and aviation to communication, industrial, and medical. One of the popular products in the market is the SSL-LX25593GD. This article will focus on the application field and working principle of this particular model.

Applications

The SSL-LX25593GD is an SMT (Surface-Mount Technology) LED designed for surface mounting on printed circuit boards. It consists of a small six-pin package and is available in various colours, including red, green, and yellow. Owing to its compact size, low power consumption, long lifespan, and good durability, it is suitable for many industrial applications such as manufacturing process supervision, medical instrumentation, airport runway lighting, automotive and traffic signal applications, and military and aerospace applications.

Working Principle

An LED is a semiconductor device which converts electrical energy into visible light. As the device is forward-biased, electrons are excited from the valence band of the diode, giving off photons in the process. The photons are then emitted from the diode in the form of visible light. The wavelength of that light is determined by the materials used to make the diode, from infrared to ultraviolet. The SSL-LX25593GD generally emits light in the visible range, and there are multiple colour variants available.

The SSL-LX25593GD also features a tapered top design, providing greater viewing angle. The viewing angle of this model is 120° and that enables a larger area of illumination from one device without the need for additional lighting. It also has superior brightness, enabling it to be seen even from a distance. The ultra-low power consumption of the LED makes it suitable for use in low-power applications.

The SSL-LX25593GD is also designed to withstand extreme temperature, shock, and vibration for superior reliability. In addition, this model is qualified for Pb-Free Reflow Soldering, ensuring industrial high quality.

Conclusion

The SSL-LX25593GD is an SMT LED designed for surface mounting on printed circuit boards. Due to its compact size, low power consumption, long lifespan, and good durability, it is suitable for many industrial applications. The device has an excellent viewing angle of 120°, brightness, and is designed to withstand extreme temperature, shock, and vibration. Its ultra-low power consumption makes it suitable for use in low-power applications. Above all, it is qualified for Pb-Free Reflow Soldering which ensures industrial high quality.
