PLEDxUSxA Series - Unidirectional

Product catalog summary
Description
PLEDxUSxA open LED protectors provide a shunt path when an LED fails, ensuring the rest of the LED string continues to function. They are designed for high reliability in indoor LED lighting applications and are compatible with 1, 2, and 3-watt LEDs with a nominal 3V forward characteristic. The components are available in an SMB surface mount package, ideal for dense board applications.

Electrical Characteristics
The PLED6US2A model has a breakdown voltage range of 6-16 volts and can handle a maximum current of 1.2 amps. It features fast switching and reverse battery/power protection, and is compatible with PWM frequencies up to 30 kHz.

Features & Benefits
- Protects high brightness LEDs with high operating current.
- Low profile, small footprint standard DO-214AA package.
- ESD protection compliant with IEC 61000-4-2 standards.
- RoHS compliant and halogen-free.
- Recognized to UL 497B as an Isolated Loop Circuit Protector.

Thermal Considerations
Operating junction temperature ranges from -40 to +150°C, with a thermal resistance of 90°C/W for the DO-214AA package.

Soldering Parameters
Reflow conditions for Pb-free assembly include a peak temperature of 260°C, with specific ramp-up and ramp-down rates.

Environmental Specifications
Includes high temperature voltage blocking, temperature cycling, and biased temperature & humidity tests, ensuring durability under various conditions.

Physical Specifications
The package is made from a UL recognized compound with a flammability classification of V-0. Terminal material is copper alloy with a 100% matte tin finish.

Packaging
The DO-214AA package is available in quantities of 2500, meeting EIA-481-1 standards.

Disclaimer
Information is believed to be accurate and reliable, but users should independently evaluate the suitability of each product for their applications.

PLEDxUSxA Series - Unidirectional-1

^ Uttelfuse* Expertise Applied | Answers Delivered PLED Open LED Protectors High power PLED Description PLEDxUSxA open LED protectors provide an electronic switching shunt path when an LED in an LED string fails as an open circuit. This ensures that the remaining string of LEDs will continue to function if a single LED does not. The components is designed to enable higher reliability in indoor LED lighting applications such as advertisement lighting and other applications. This series is compatible with one, two and three watt LEDs that have a nominal 3V forward characteristic and is available in an SMB surface mount package. The DO-214AA (SMB) low profile package is ideal for dense board applications. Agency Approvals Notes: 1. I0- Operation current tested @ aluminum boards, ambient temp 85°C ©2019 Littelfuse, Inc.

LED Interference Test Circuit 6 LEDs in Series 50% Duty Cycle 10kHz 5 LEDs and 1 PLED in Series 50% Duty Cycle 10kHz Note: These two graphs show the current magnitude through the LED string with and without the PLED included. There is no noticeable effect on the LED current magnitude when the PLED is included in the circuit as compared to the LED current magnitude when the PLED is not in the circuit. (The conversion factor for the test measurement in the graphs above is 10mA/mV for the Pearson coil measurement, therefore, the current magnitude in the first figure is 10mA*8.9 = 89mA, while the...
