Featuring separate anode and cathode connections for the red, green, and blue LED chips inside its compact 3.5mm by 2.8mm by 1.4mm PLCC-6 surface-mount package, the Automotive Grade VLMRGB6122 facilitates individual control of each chip, making it possible to realise every colour within the colour room defined by the gamut triangle area inside the CIE 1931 colour space through colour mixing.
With its wide colour range, the Vishay Semiconductors LED released is well suited for ambient lighting, switch illumination, status indicators, and dashboard signal and symbol illumination in automobiles; large-format, full-colour message and video display boards; backlighting in consumer devices, home appliances, medical instrumentation, and telecom equipment; and a wide range of accent and decorative lighting. For these applications, the device utilises the latest high brightness AllnGaP and InGaN technologies to deliver 70% higher brightness than previous-generation solutions in a package with a 22% lower profile than competing products.
Offering high reliability, the VLMRGB6122 provides a wide temperature range from -40 °C to +110 °C, which is 25 °C higher than standard solutions, and Class B1 corrosion robustness. The LED is AEC-Q102 qualified, offers a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 3, and withstands ESD voltages up to kV for red and 8kV for blue and green in accordance with JESD22-A114-B. RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green, the device is compatible with IR reflow soldering and categorised per reel for luminous intensity, colour, and forward voltage.
