DOMINANT introduces a highly reliable white SpiceLED part, the SSW-HLG. This device provides a typical luminous intensity of 500 mcd at an operating current of 20mA withstanding high operating temperatures of up to 110°C.

This miniature device uses an industrial standard 0603 (S-Spice) package outline but with a package height of only 0.6mm! Its small, efficient and highly reliable design has a superb wide viewing angle of 160° with enhanced thermal dissipation capability via its copper base. It offers an excellent lifetime up to 20k hours due to its enhanced resin mixture for encapsulation and low thermal resistance of the housing.

SpiceLEDs do not only spice up the lighting solutions for automotive interior lighting but being also the trend-setter for key-pad illumination of PDAs, compact back-lighting applications, consumer appliances, office equipment, audio and video equipment where less space is a premium requirement.

Engineering samples are available, mass-production starts in December 2009.
