Würth Elektronik Presents LEDs with Focused Emission
February 26, 2025 | Wurth ElectronicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Würth Elektronik expands its two LED product series: “WL-SMCW SMT Mono-color Chip LED Waterclear” now includes a compact model with a footprint of just 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm, in which a dome lens focuses the light. This enables the LED to produce a bright and concentrated beam with an emission angle of just 30 degrees. The “WL-SMTD SMT Mono-color TOP LED Diffused Dome” series now also includes versions with 30-degree and 60-degree emission angles and offers an additional black housing, providing higher contrast in dark-design blinking lights, for example.
The WL-SMCW in the 0603 package with a dome lens is a high-precision, space-saving, and energy-efficient light source for applications that depend on focused light control. With the LED, light can be precisely directed onto a small area while minimizing light scattering and energy loss. It is suitable for consumer electronics, medical devices, handheld products, and symbol or text displays. The available LED colors are blue, green, light green, yellow, amber, and red.
The new WL-SMTD series models are aimed at developers seeking robust, aesthetically attractive lighting solutions with higher contrast. Precise, glare-free illumination for demanding applications is achieved with the selectable 30-degree or 60-degree emission angle, a diffuse dome lens, and a black 3528 package designed to minimize light loss.
All new LEDs are now available without a minimum order quantity.
