Broadcom RGB SMD LED 120° Square PLCC-6

The Broadcom RGB SMD LED 120° Square PLCC-6 is a surface-mount tricolour LED that produces red, green, and blue light for colour lighting applications. It features a black top surface and a 120° viewing angle, with a built-in reflector that helps spread the emitted light. The device carries an IPX6 water resistance rating as per IEC 60529:2001.

Overview

The LED is built in a PLCC-6 (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) package with a separate heat path for each LED die. According to the product information, this arrangement allows the device to be driven at higher currents for increased light output without compromising longevity. It is engineered with AlInGaP and InGaN semiconductor technologies to produce red, green, and blue light.
