Low Current SMD LED PLCC-2
DESCRIPTION
These new devices have been designed to meet the
increasing demand for low current SMD LEDs.
The package of the VLMA3100 is the PLCC-2 (equivalent to
a size B tantalum capacitor).
It consists of a lead frame which is embedded in a white
thermoplast. The reflector inside this package is filled up
with clear epoxy.
