LED maker Kingbright Co LLC City of Industry, CA, USA has launched what it claims is the industry's smallest SMD LED, the HELI-UM series.
The 0.65mm x 0.35mm x 0.20mm (0201) footprint of the HELI-UltraMiniature allows it to fit into ultra-compact designs for wearable, portable consumer products and disposable medical device applications. Engineered with either aluminium gallium indium phosphide (AlGalnP) or indium gallium nitride (InGaN) chips, various colors are available.
Compatible with automatic placement equipment, the HELI-UltraMiniature can be easily utilized, similarly to 0201 passive components, notes the firm.
