Combining surface-mount technology with the capabilities of through-hole, leaded T-5-mm epoxy lens LEDs, the OctoLED features 7000-mcd brightness levels. Replacing the 5-mm standard through-hole LEDs, the devices measure 6×6×11 mm and come on 24-mm tape for automatic insertion. Available in a range of colors, including red, yellow, green, blue, and white, the LEDs also come in bicolor and RGB versions. The devices also include a variety of lens finishes, allowing different viewing angle options, varying depending on lens type. The ROHS (restriction-of-hazardous-substances)-compliant LEDs can withstand 225°C soldering temperatures for 10 seconds, with a recommended 2°/sec gradual temperature rise reaching 150°C. Prices for the OctoLEDs start at 30 cents, based on color specification.
