Avago Technologies has introduced a family of 0.5 W high-brightness red-orange and amber light-emitting diodes in an automotive industry-standard PLCC-4 surface-mount (SMT) package for automotive exterior lighting applications.

The ASMC-QxB2-Txxx LEDs can be soldered using conventional surface-mount techniques to minimize production costs. The package is qualified to a Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) moisture sensitive level (MSL) rating of 2 A, so the LEDs can be kept in the open air (30 °C, 60% relative humidity) for up to four weeks after being removed from their sealed package without the need to remove absorbed moisture.
