Sharp Expands its Family of White LEDs with Four High-brightness Devices
GM5BW9733xA (Series) offers low power consumption and reflow compatibility
 Sharp has announced the expansion of its family of white Light Emitting Diodes (LED) with four new, 3-chip devices (GM5BW97330A, GM5BW97331A, GM5BW97332A, and GM5BW97333A) that can provide high brightness levels (in order) of 6.40 cd, 7.0 cd, 5.80 cd, and 5.10 cd at IF = 20 mA/chip (60 mA total).
The GM5BW9733xA (Series) Light Source LEDs are high performance, energy-efficient devices which can handle high thermal conditions. The exposed pad design provides for excellent heat transfer from the package to the motherboard. It is available in color temperatures (in order) of 5300 K, 5000 K, 6500 K, and 11500 K.
These devices are packaged in a small PLCC4 package which is compatible with reflow soldering. To facilitate easy pick and place assembly, the LEDs are also available in EIA-compliant tape and reel.
These new devices are ideally suited for many consumer and commercial applications that traditionally have used conventional incadescent bulbs or other technologies. With package dimensions of just 3.2 mm × 2.8 mm × 1.9 mm, they are also targeted for space-limited applications requiring high brightness levels.
