February 17, 2010... Toshiba Electronics Europe has introduced three new high-power white LEDs. Operating with a drive current of 350mA, the new TL12W03-D white, TL12W03-L warm-white, and TL12W03-N neutral-white LEDs provides typical luminous flux ratings of 90 lumens, 75 lumens and 100 lumens respectively. The company says that they provide efficient, reliable alternatives to incandescent, fluorescent and halogen bulb technologies in general lighting designs. The new LEDs are supplied in miniature surface-mount packages measuring just 10.5mm x 5mm x 2.1mm. All of the devices are suitable for both indoor and outdoor lighting applications operating at temperatures between -40C and 100C.

The company notes that the package technology was designed to ensure a low thermal resistance and improved heat dissipation characteristics. This simplifies thermal management in the target lighting design. All of the new LEDs are rated for a maximum forward current (IF) of 500mA and a typical forward voltage (VF) at 350mA of 3.3V. The company rates the maximum power dissipation for the LEDs at 1.95W. Toshiba News Release
