SPlined LEDs do not need a PCB

Forge Europa's new SPlined LEDs – SPLEDs for short – are LED bulb replacements which can be used without a printed circuit board. The contours of the LED just push into a pre-drilled hole with a secure friction fit, and insulation displacement connectors make interconnection easy.

Suitable for assembly into all types of vac form and plastic fascias, these illuminators are quick to assemble, making them suited to short production runs and applications requiring fast progression from development to manufacture.

SPLEDs can stand alone or combined together in extended strips to provide unique scope for the creative lighting design engineer. They provide a very wide viewing angle of 120°, and diode protection ensures that they can survive harsh environments.

Simplicity of fixing and application versatility are key attributes of SPLEDs, which can be used for backlighting, glass or general illumination. SPLEDs operate from a 12VDC supply, with other electrical configurations being available upon request.
