Application of direct current results in radiation or emission of a monochromatic light. Specifications Different semiconductor materials produce different wavelengths of light as shown below: Green Gallium Phosphide (GaP) 5600 A Yellow Gallium Arsenide Phosphide (GaAsP) 5800 A Amber Gallium Arsenide Phosphide (GaAsP) 6300 A Red Gallium Arsenide Phosphide (GaAsP) 6600A Infrared Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) 9000 A A Advantages of Using LEDs * LEDs are used when heat generated by incandescent lamps would damage nearby equipment or interfere with a precision process. This is particularly advantageous when multiple lights are grouped. * LEDs can operate at low temperatures which would cause incandescent lamps to fail, since glass cracks during rapid cooling. * LEDs consume 50 times less power than incandescent lamps, thereby reducing energy consumption. * LEDs last 500 times longer than incandescent lamps. LEDs average a million hours (114 years) while incandescent lamps average 2000 hours. * LEDs do not generally "blow out" unless subjected to a severe overvoltage. They exhibit a half-life type dimishment in brightness over time. After 50,000 hours (6 years) of use, IDEC LEDs will retain approximately half of their original intensity. * IDEC's SUPERBRIGHT LEDs have high visibility. * LEDs require little or no maintenance because of long life and high reliability. IDEC Recommendations For optimum results, especially when using switches and pilot lights in operating environments which are conducive to overheating, use IDEC LED illuminated units. Transformers are available for use with incandescent illuminated units, which operate at lower voltages to avoid overheating. When IDEC's L-120L lamp is used, make sure ambient temperatures do not exceed 30C (86F). If a lamp from another supplier is used, it should be rated for less than 1.8 watts (15mA at 120V AC), with ambient temperatures as stated above. Information About Incandescent Lamps Filament-type incandescent lamps operate within the following parameters. Light output and life expectancy depend on operating voltage. Light output varies to the 3rd or 4th power of the voltage. Life expectancy varies inversely to the 12th power of voltage. In other words, over-voltage of 5% reduces life expectancy by 50%. Under-voltage of 5% doubles life expectancy at the price of light output efficiency. Inrush current (initial current through the filament) has an adverse effect on life expectancy. Cold resistance (room temperature) will have a more detrimental effect than hot resistance to inrush current. Life expectancy of incandescent lamps can be maximized by reducing occurrences of cold resistance to inrush current. Continued intermittent flashing will significantly reduce life expectancy. When using an incandescent lamp with a tungsten filament, flashing will not reduce life expectancy as long as light output does not exceed that of steady burning. When an incandescent lamp must withstand shock and vibration, use low voltage/high amperage (5-6V/60-120mA) lamps. These lamps have a short, thick filament with a high resonant frequency. Provide cooling by using a heat sink, particularly when multiple incandescent lamps are grouped or when air circulation is limited. Make sure ambient temperatures do not exceed 100C (212F) for maximum life of incandescent lamps. www.idec.com USA: (800) 262-IDEC or (408) 747-0550, Canada (888) 317-IDEC A-11 Switches and Pilot Devices General Information Comparison: LED vs. Incandescent Lamps Superbright LEDs Characteristics A Incandescent Heat Dissipation Very Low High Life Expectancy Very Long Short Reliability Very High Low Mechanical Strength Not Susceptible Susceptible to Shock/Vibration Maintenance Required Negligible Frequent Operation at Low Temps. Possible Not Possible Inrush Current Negligible Very Large Voltage Effects on Life Insignificant Significant Brightness Slightly Less Slightly More Ordering Information 1. IDEC offers assembled and sub-assembled switches and pilot lights for your convenience. In some cases there is a cost difference, with sub-assembled units costing slightly less. Since assembled units are custom made to your order, a couple of days for assembly is added to delivery . To minimize delivery or inventory requirements, it is recommended that switches and pilot lights be ordered as sub-components. 2. When ordering pilot lights or illuminated pushbuttons, make sure to specify the color code in place of the asterisk in the part number, (LED or incandescent lamp included). Spare lamps can be ordered and are listed with sub-assembly components. 3. Accessories, such as locking ring wrench, lens removal tool, and lamp holder, are available to make installation and assembly easier. IDEC recommends using these accessories and is not responsible for damage as a result of using the wrong tool. 4. Marking plates are available for switches and pilot lights which feature a flat lens. Printed mylar (not included) can also be inserted under lens for labeling purposes. 5. Nameplates are available for TW, 7/8" (22mm), HW 7/8" (22mm),and TWTD series, O1-13/64" (30mm). For prompt delivery, order standard legends. Custom engraving is also offered for an additional charge. Installation and Operation 1. Use the appropriate lamp holder to remove or install LED or incandescent lamps. Using pliers will damage the lamp. 2. When mounting switches and pilot lights into a panel, use locking ring wrench.Using pliers or tightening excessively will damage the locking ring. 3. A series, 21/64" (8mm), can be mounted on a panel 0.019" (0.5mm) to 0.236" (6mm) thick. 4. LW 7/8" (22mm), TW, 7/8" (22mm), and TWTD series, O1-13/64" (30mm), feature an adjustment ring for mounting on a panel 0.038" (1mm) to 0.236" (6mm) thick. Using a nameplate or an anti-rotation ring adds 0.031" (0.8mm) to the panel thickness. 5. When applicable, solder terminals within 20W/5sec or 260/3sec without exerting external force to the terminals. Use a non-corrosive resin liquid flux. 6. The operating voltage for LED units represents a complete DC value. When using a pulsing voltage, such a full-wave rectification, keeppeak currents within the forward current If. Peak currents exceeding If may shorten the life of the LED lamp. 7. To avoid a short circuit, never connect NO and NC contacts to different voltages or power sources. 8. Optimum performance of TW and TWTD illuminated pushbuttons, selector switches, and pilot lights is obtained with IDEC LED and incandescent lamps. 9. For maximum life of incandescent lamps (approximately 2000 hours), use within the rated operating voltage. If it is necessary to use a higher voltage, keeping ambient temperature below 30C (86F)will help prolong the life of an incandescent lamp. If excessive voltage is applied (over 50V), the lamp may blow and the lens holder may pop out.
