DIGI-KEY launches LITTELFUSE PLED series LED protector

Littelfuse PLED Series Surface Mount LED Protectors enhance protection and extend LED lighting life. In the case of extremely high reliability or difficult maintenance, the protector can help with current surges and transients to avoid damage to the LED. In addition to ESD, lightning surge and reverse connection protection, PLED can also bypass the fault LED. Let the rest of the lines light up.

PLED equipment is designed for outdoor high-brightness LED lighting applications (advertising and traffic signs, road/channel/runway lighting, aircraft and emergency lighting) to help ensure high reliability and low maintenance.

PLED devices are available for 1-W, 2-Watt and 3-Watt LED applications with a nominal forward voltage of 3V and have a high current range of 300mA to 1.0A. The device also features a low on-state voltage of 1.5V and a low-off state. Current reduces power loss and reduces the heating effect on the LED.
