For High Reliability Lighting

Littelfuse PLED Series Open LED Protectors provide a switching electronic shunt path when an LED in an LED array fails as an open circuit, ensuring that the entire array of LEDs will continue to function even if a single LED in the array doesn't. PLED Series Open LED Protectors provide higher reliability lighting functions in applications such as headlights, aircraft, aircraft runway lighting, roadside warning lights, and more. These Littelfuse LED protection devices are compatible with 1, 2, and 3W LEDs that have a nominal 3V forward characteristic. Littelfuse PLED devices are available in a variety of package types, including QFN and DO-214 surface mount packages as well as SOT-89.


PLED Features
  • Fast Switching
  • Automatically resets after power cycle
  • Available in low profile, small footprint QFN and Standard DO-214AA packages
  • Compatible with industrial lighting environments
  • Compatible with PWM dimming speeds of up to 10 KHz
  • RoHS compliant and halogen-free
