Marktech Offers LEDs For Traffic/Sign Applications

Marktech Optoelectronics has added Toshiba's TLxK series red and amber LEDs to its range. The TLxK series incorporates colour, brightness and radiation patterns that are suited for traffic and sign applications. These include traffic-management systems, traffic signals, pedestrian signals, variable message signs, indoor message signs and outdoor advertising applications.

Luminous intensities are up to 12,900mcd on the red model and 23,000mcd on the amber. This allows designers to reduce power consumption while maintaining a high level of brightness. TLxK red and amber LEDs are available in a 5mm round package with viewing angles of 23 and 30.

Kycon Offers Tab-Down Option With Build-In LEDs

Kycon has increased its modular jack offering by including a tab-down option with built-in light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The GSLX and GSLGX combine the functionality of Kycon's RJ45 modular jacks with the signal capabilities of independent LEDs mounted within the jack housing. The expanded series allows for greater design flexibility for a number of applications, such as telecommunications, networking systems (hubs, switches, routers and gateways), security systems and multimedia set-top-box applications.

The single- and multi-port RJ45 right-angle connectors with LEDs are offered as non-shielded or fully shielded, with various optional grounding tabs for panel grounding and EMI/RFI protection. The LEDs are located at the bottom of the connector and are offered in a variety of single-colour LED options to facilitate the inspection of system activity.
