Description
The LBP01 series are bypass switches to be
connected in parallel with 1 or 2 LEDs. In case of
LED failure, this allows the current to flow through
the other LEDs.
It also provides an overvoltage protection against
surges defined in IEC 61000-4-2 and
IEC 61000-4-5
Their robust dice also protect LEDs against surge.
These devices are compatible with LEDs up to
1A.
LBP01 are packaged either in SMB or SOT23-5L
