Bivar, a leading provider of optoelectronics and assembly hardware, has launched the ORCA series of Super Flux LEDs. The company says its new ORCA product family is an expansion of its high power LEDs designed for use on standard printed circuit boards (PCBs) for LED indication. The new ORCA series replaces the Bivar MAKO product family and enhances its capabilities with greater luminous intensity, higher power efficiency and additional lens configurations while maintaining its industry standard 7.6 mm square package form factor.

The new ORCA series of Super Flux LEDs provides increased luminous intensity with higher current capability and greater power efficiency. The ORCA family is available in the standard colors of red, green, blue, yellow, and white and also includes three bi-color combinations and RGB. The red and yellow ORCAs are compatible with SAE and ECE color requirements making them ideal for automotive applications.

ORCA series lens geometries include dome, oval and flat to provide viewing angles of 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 80 degrees and wide 160 degrees. The operational life of the ORCA series is up to 100,000 hours when operated within specified limits. The 7.6 mm package is designed to withstand high levels of shock and vibration that would otherwise damage traditional LED packages and filament-based light sources.  Like all Bivar LEDs, the ORCA series of Super Flux LEDs is fully RoHS compliant.

Bivar’s ORCA super flux LEDs are designed specifically for applications in the automotive industry, LED signage and signals, industrial illumination, and the decorative and specialty markets.
