SEPW Series
Description
The SEPW series of LEDs provides a range of high-powered
InGaN blue LEDs producing brilliant white light that can be
used in general lighting applications, amusement and gaming
equipment, and for backlighting TFT displays. Each module
combines 8 LEDs in 2 separate channels.
ModulardesignallowstheSEPWdevicestobeeasilyassembled
into string arrays by simply connecting the modules in series.
The devices also provide superior color balance throughout
the display because of the high density of LEDs that can be
achieved. This also minimizes the distance that power and
control lines must run between LEDs and from the LEDs to
the control electronics.
The white thermoplastic case is an innovative Sanken original
design with exceptional heat dissipation properties. The white
resincompoundisespeciallyformulatedforsuperiorreflectance
and transmittance of the generated light. Enhanced thermal
dissipation is achieved through the incorporated heatsink on the
bottom of the package. The heatsink can be mated directly to an
external radiator through the PCB for superior heat conduction
allowing dense placement of modules.

surface for the bottom and sides of the emitting area. The
terminals and heatsink are also silver-plated.
Features and Benefits
High efficiency, 100 1m/W (20 mA ) with all LEDs
illuminated; equivalent to fluorescent lamps (HCFL)
Low thermal resistance, RθJC = 6°C/W
High optical, 50 lm, output with all LEDs illuminated
Superior directivity
5.23 mm × 13.7 mm case footprint, and
low 2.5 mm overall package height
Silver plating on leadframe
8 LED configuration
Multi Chip White LED Modules
Typical Application
Package:
16-pin, 1.27 mm pitch, surface mount
Not to scale
The SEPW devices can be mounted in tight
arrays on a single PCB substrate for ease of
manufacture and to provide a dense, uniform
appearance when illuminated.
The application shown here uses eight
SEP8Wx2001 LED modules, each populated
by eight LEDs connected in series.
