Lightweight packaged LEDs weigh 30 per cent less
Marl is expanding its range of lightweight aluminium LEDs aimed at weight-critical portable equipment and aerospace applications. These LEDs are up to 30 per cent lighter than brass- or steel-cased equivalents.
Marl has extended the standard voltage range of its popular 612 series, offering voltages from 5-60V from stock. With a black anodised aluminium housing sealed to IP67, the 612 series is suitable for demanding applications including those involving exposure to high levels of vibration.
Features of the range include optional flying lead terminations and a choice of five colours. An internal reverse voltage protection diode is fitted as standard to all models, to help prevent damage in the event of the incorrect connection. Marl 612 series LEDs are 9mm in external diameter, have a mounting hole diameter of 6.35mm, and weigh just 4.09g.
For portable applications requiring an even smaller LED, Marl offers the 603/604 series in nickel-plated brass, with an external diameter of 7.9mm and mounting hole of 5.0mm.
