New Uniform Solder Pad Design Concept for Oslon LEDs and Second Source Offers Greater Flexibility
New Uniform Solder Pad Design Concept for Oslon LEDs and Second Source Offers Greater Flexibility LEDs are not all the same. This is evidenced not only by the performance data and the dimensions but also by the solder pads and the processing options. Osram Opto Semiconductors has now developed a concept for uniform solder pads based on the Oslon family, making it easier for customers to use LEDs from different manufacturers (second source) and reducing the costs of storage and processes modification.

Celcion™ Thick Film Material System that Outperforms Traditional MCPBCs
Celcion™ Thick Film Material System that Outperforms Traditional MCPBCs Heraeus Celcion™ is a Thick Film Materials System designed to build circuits directly onto aluminum substrates. Traditionally, MCPCBs are constructed using a subtractive process, taking time and wasting costly material. Celcion, however, is an additive process, using material only where it's needed, resulting in reduced processing steps and less material consumption. Celcion has been independently verified to deliver industry-leading thermal connectivity and high dielectric breakdown strength. Read more »
