GB-229 SERIES

Multi-Color, Common Cathode

3mm Round Type

LED Lamps (3 Pins)

DESCRIPTION:

The 229 series is three leaded bicolor light sources designed and white diffused

for a variety of applications where dual state illumination is required in the same

package.

There are two different chips mounted on a central common cathode lead.

Colors can be generated by independently pulse width modulating the chips.

The semi-conductor materials used are:

GaP for (H, G)

GaAsP/GaP for (E, Y)
