LED for torches and worklamps

Osram is aiming at torches and work lamps with a long-life 160 lm LED. Called Osconiq P 3030, it is build around a 1 x 1mm die that can be driven at 1.3A and comes in a specially-developed 3 x 3mm (1.63mm high) SMD epoxy package with lead-frame heat spreading and a silicone lens. “Compared with the ceramic packages commonly used in this field, Osram’s new package provides a more robust component with a longer lifetime,” claimed the firm.
