Seoul Semiconductor launches commercial sales of 120lm/W LED Logo
 
 

Improves luminous and thermal efficiency by over 20% compared to existing products by a precision dome lens on a metal substrate

Unlike existing Chip LED devices, the LCW100Z1 delivers over 120lm/W with an enhanced primary optic. Also, combined with the metal substrate, luminous efficiency is improved substantially compared to the typical Top View LED.  Enhanced heat transfer dramatically improves efficiency. The patented LCW100Z1 shows remarkable value with pricing comparable to similar-sized Chip LED’s that can tolerate only half of the current of the LCW100Z1.

As an ultra-thin LED with dimensions of 3.5mm x 2.8mm x 1.6mm, the LCW100Z1 delivers up to 7.8lm (@0.06W) at the low current of 20mA, and 14.3lm 40mA with a viewing angle of 120 degrees in cool white.  Another strength of the LCW100Z1 is that its reliability is improved by the optimized thermal design yielding the efficiency needed for indoor and outdoor lighting.

The new LCW100Z1 product comes in three ranges of correlated color temperature’s (CCT); including pure white, warm white and natural white.

New Metal Switch with Ceramic Surface Logo
 
 

The new MSM CS metal switch from SCHURTER is equipped with an actuator made of highly durable ceramic. Ceramic is a new technology employed in the production of an electro-mechanical switch. The new switch provides novel features that open up entirely new areas of application. The MSM CS is extremely robust and meets vandal-proof demands due to the low profile of the front structure (1.7 mm), the IP 69K protection class and the high level of impact resistance. The switch is available in 19 mm and 22 mm mounting diameters.

Super Speed USB 3.0 Connector Logo
 
 

The new connector series 829 provides data transfer rates of 4,8 Gbit/s – e.g. a speed 10 times faster than the previous USB 2.0 connectors (480Mbit/s)! The increase of the speed of the new USB 3.0 was absolutely necessary. The data transfer rate of the usually USB-operated hard discs and mass storages are already today 3 times faster than the maximum data transfer rate of USB 2.0. The higher data transfer rates are realized with a technique comparable to the PCI-Express or the Serial ATS. Therefore additional wire pairs and supplemental contacts are necessary.
W+P guarantees for the series 829 compatibility to the previous USB-headers. The 5 supplemental contacts are located in the back of the com-monly used USB connector case.
The new USB 3.0 super speed connectors are high-speed alternatives for the previously used USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 connectors. Attractive applications are e.g. in industrial controlling, embedded computing and peripherial devices. The connectors are available with 9 contacts as solder version in type A and B.
