XLamp ® XT-E LEDs offer twice the price/performance ratio (lm/$) of other LED products and the industry's highest performance and efficacy, virtually eliminating the biggest barrier to large-scale LED lighting applications. Available in a conventional 3.45mm x 3.45mm XP package, the XLamp ® XT-E LED can be used in almost any lighting application. Based on the XP package structure, customers can easily combine XLamp ® XT-E LEDs with existing XLamp ® XP LED designs to shorten LED luminaire design cycles and speed time-to-market.

Generally speaking, outdoor lighting requires high luminous efficiency, high luminous flux, high maintenance characteristics, etc. In addition, it requires more safety protection than indoor lighting, and requires better performance in terms of life and reliability. Light efficiency, optical communication, excellent light color quality, longevity and reliability are the advantages of the Cree XLamp ® series. For the various street lighting products on the market, the high-efficiency series XLamp ® XT-E devices are shared and discussed with the lighting manufacturers or designers in the actual case of some module solutions and customer applications in street lighting applications.

XLamp ® XT series is a fine LED of Cree. According to some requirements of single power or low color temperature, we have made different color temperature and different light efficiency requirements. Based on good performance, longevity and color coordinate stability, as well as high cost performance and other factors, this design uses 3000K/4000K/5000K color temperature, Q5/R3/R4 file.

XLamp ® XT-E LEDs have been tested with the LM-80 to meet ENERGY STAR requirements, which provide a good foundation for safe and reliable street lighting design. XLamp ® XT-E LEDs are Cree's intellectual property LEDs, which comply with the patent regulations of various countries in the world and can be sold in any country.

Due to the improvement of the luminous efficacy of LED lamps, the proportion of heat is decreasing, but 60~70% of the input energy is converted into heat, and the rest is converted into light. Therefore, a heat dissipation system is needed to ensure long-term reliable operation of the lamps, so we choose the following accessories. To help LED heat dissipation.

Through the physical test, the solder joint temperature of this reference design is about 46.4 degrees, and the calculated Tj is about 55 degrees.

In terms of optics, we use an integrated lens solution to complement our street light module design. With Redick street light lens (LL14CR-AOC65150L02), the optical efficiency can reach more than 93%.

A comprehensive selection of USB connectors are available with various combinations of form factors, interface and version types, vertical and horizontal configurations, as well as a unique new USB 2.0 Type-C charging option. Chances are Antenk have the right USB Connector for you.

USB (Universal Serial Bus) was originally developed and introduced in 1996 as a way of setting up communication between a computer and peripheral devices by replacing many varieties of serial and parallel ports.
USB connectors have become the standard connection method for devices such as mice, keyboards, game pads & joysticks, scanners, digital cameras, printers and external hard drives.
Although designed for personal computers USB has become commonplace on other devices such as mobile phones, PDA's, video game consoles, AC power adaptors, memory sticks and mobile internet access dongles.

USB Connector Type
USB Type A
Also known as USB standard A connector, the USB A connector is primarily be used on host controllers in computers and hubs. USB-A socket is designed to provide a "downstream" connection intended for host controllers and hubs, rarely implemented as an "upstream" connector on a peripheral device. This is because USB host will supply a 5V DC power on the VBUS pin. As such, it is important to remember while purchasing USB cables it is safest to make sure at least one of the plugs is a USB A.
Though not that common, USB A male to A male cables are used by some implementers to make connections between two USB A style female port. Be aware that typical A-A cables are not intended for connection between two host computers or computer to hub.

USB Type B
Also known as USB standard B connector, the B style connector is designed for USB peripherals, such as printer, upstream port on hub, or other larger peripheral devices. The primary reason for the development of USB B connectors were to allow the connection of peripheral devices without running the risk of connecting two host computers to one another. USB B type connector is still used today, though it is slowly being phased out in favor of more refined usb connector types.

USB Type C
USB-C or USB Type-C Connector is the newest USB interface came to the market along with the new USB 3.1 standard. Different from previously mentioned USB A type and B type connector, USB C Type connector can be used on both host controller ports and devices which use upstream sockets. In the last few years a numbers of laptops and cellphones have appeared on the market with C style USB connectors.
USB Type C connector is compatible with USB 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 Gen 1 and Gen 2 signals. A full feature USB 3.1 Gen 2 C to C cable is able to transmit data at maximum 10 Gbps with enhanced power delivery of up to 20V, 5A (100W) and to support DisplayPort and HDMI alternate mode to transfer video and audio signal.

USB Mini B
Similar to USB B type connector, USB mini B sockets are used on USB peripheral devices, but in a smaller form factor. The mini B plug by default has 5 pins, including an extra ID pin to support USB On-The-Go (OTG), which allows mobile devices and other peripherals to act as a USB host.

Initially, this plug was designed for earlier models of smartphones, but as smartphones have become more compact and with sleeker profiles, the Mini USB plug has been replaced by the micro USB. Now, the Mini-B is designed for some digital cameras while the rest of the mini plugs series have become more of a legacy connectors as they are no longer certified for new products.

USB Micro B
The Micro USB B Connector essentially a scaled down form of the mini USB which allowed mobile devices to get slimmer while still maintaining the ability to connect to computers and other hubs.
