Littelfuse LED Lighting Solutions support all facets of the LED lighting market with innovative solutions that not only meet regulatory standards but also increase equipment safety and reliability. To help protect end-users, Littelfuse works closely with many LED driver IC suppliers, to ensure their evaluation boards and reference designs comply with safety and surge immunity requirements. They also assist LED lighting power supply manufacturers in designing optimal protection schemes for their driver modules. At the OEM level, they cooperate with luminaire and lamp manufacturers to ensure their products are optimally designed for robust surge immunity protection.
Littelfuse PLED Open LED Protectors provide a switching electronic shunt path when an LED in an LED array fails as an open circuit, ensuring the entire array of LEDs will continue to function even if a single LED in the array does not. These LED protection devices are compatible with 1W, 2W, and 3W LEDs that have a nominal 3V forward characteristic. The protectors are available in a variety of package types, including QFN and DO-214 surface-mount packages, SOT-89, and the small form factor Powermite® package. Littelfuse PLED Open LED Protectors offer reliable lighting functions in applications such as headlights, aircraft, aircraft runway lighting, roadside warning lights, and more.
