Würth Elektronik WL-SFTW and WL-SFTD series RGB LEDs

Würth Elektronik presents the WL-SFTW and WL-SFTD series of RGB LEDs, suitable for accent and decorative lighting, optical displays and industrial applications. Their PLCC contacting design also makes the two series of individually controllable LEDs suitable for SMT assembly and reflow soldering.

The WL-SFTW series offers three different standard packaging designs: 3528 with four pins as well as 3528 and 5050 with six pins. The WL-SFTD series in 3535 package will be of particular interest to lighting designers as it is characterised by its IPX6 protection class.

RGB LEDs can be used to create any colour by additive colour mixing. This makes these compact components useful for a variety of decorative applications. With the WL-SFTW series LEDs, Würth Elektronik offers compact components with high light intensity. The 5050 package in particular is suitable for applications in areas with bright ambient light.

The IPX6 class of the WL-SFTD offers protection against outdoor environments and water. The encapsulation resin of the RGB LED with diffuse lens also contains UV inhibitors to minimise the effects of long-term exposure to direct sunlight. This supports stable light yield throughout the service life of the LED. A wide beam angle and high intensities make the LEDs suitable for outdoor and indoor full-colour displays.
