3mm Piranha LED
3MM Super Flux Single-color - Hongcheng Optoelectronics LED Manufacturer
Product Overview:
The 3MM Piranha LED is a high-brightness light-emitting diode with a four-lead through-hole structure and an approximately 3mm emitting lens. It features high brightness, good heat dissipation, secure mounting and strong vibration resistance. Compared with ordinary two-lead through-hole LEDs, the four-lead frame improves mechanical stability. Suitable for automotive electronics, traffic signals, advertising signage and industrial equipment.
Key Advantages:
- Four-lead Piranha package for secure mounting and good stability
- 3MM lens emission with high brightness and good visibility
- Multiple leads assist heat conduction for good heat dissipation
- Suitable for environments involving vibration and prolonged operation
- Available in red, yellow, green, blue, white and orange
- Clear, diffused and tinted encapsulants available
- Custom brightness, wavelengths, angles and pin configurations available
Applications:
- Automotive tail lights, brake lights and turn signals
- Automotive instruments, interior lights and auxiliary indicators
- Traffic lights and road warning equipment
- Advertising letters, signboards and lightbox modules
- Industrial equipment and large control panels
- Landscape illumination and outdoor decorative lighting
