Key Products Now Stocked:

• OSLON Black Infrared LED Family – New automotive variants now feature 850 nm LEDs for exterior uses such as night‑vision, pedestrian protection, pre‑field recognition, and lane detection. The 940 nm version targets interior automotive needs including driver monitoring, seat occupancy detection, and gesture recognition. With multiple wavelengths and lenses, these LEDs operate up to 5 A in pulse mode.
• SFH‑2200 Photodiode Family – The latest generation offers a compact package that remains solder‑ready for up to one year after exposure, versus the three‑day window typical of standard products. Designed to meet automotive strictness, the devices tolerate up to 125 °C and comply with AEC‑Q101‑C, making them ideal for rain‑sensor applications.
• TOPLED E1608 Low‑Power LED Family – Combining a smaller footprint with exceptional versatility, these LEDs are perfect for automotive displays, ambient lighting, and switch/instrument backlighting.
• SFH‑4776 Broadband Infrared LEDs – Suited for emerging near‑infrared spectroscopy applications, these LEDs measure water, fat, sugar, and protein content in food and pharmaceuticals.
• SYNIOS P2720 Platform – A flexible platform featuring 15 LED products of varying chip sizes, power ratings, and colours within a single footprint. Designed for scalable, thermally reliable, high‑brightness applications, it delivers cost advantages for automotive manufacturers and lighting designers.

Premier Farnell’s integration of Osram Opto Semiconductors ensures that engineers worldwide have access to cutting‑edge optoelectronic components, backed by industry‑leading performance and reliability.
