Summary of Micro SIDELED® – Low height, side emitting LED
The Micro SIDELED® family from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors provides compact side-emitting LEDs in 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm, and 1.0 mm heights, optimized for coupling into flat lightguides. The new 3806 White offers 14% higher brightness than its predecessor, low forward voltage for power savings, high ESD tolerance, optional integrated ESD diode, silicone encapsulation for extended lifetime, and flat, side-looking packages for space-constrained designs.
Parts used in the Micro SIDELED® 3806 White:
- Micro SIDELED® 3806 White LED (sidelooker)
- Silicone encapsulation (on select variants)
- Optional integrated ESD protection diode (in casting)
- Flat lightguide (for coupling)
Designed to deliver exceptional quality and first-rate reliability, the Micro SIDELED® family from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors offers a choice of sidelookers for applications where space is at a premium.
Available in three different heights, 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm and 1.0 mm, these LEDs combine high brightness with low power consumption and include silicone-encapsulated models for an extended product life.
