Buying the samsung lm561c s6 diodes

[mr blue]

These are the only offerings of this diode. Wish I was wrong the tech guy took 15 minutes to figure it out.

The engineer at Digikey definitely has to deal with a huge range of gear so I don't blame him for not knowing, but those of us who have put in the research have checked on this.

But are they S6 or S5?

[LEDG]

That information is not shared. I can only assume that they would use their best for their product though.

I guess you must be right, could that mean the f series are s5 and the h series are s6. I need to investigate further. Think I'll go back to digi-key chat. Thanks for looking at this for me.

No problem. I think if you’re going to investigate, your time would be better-spent with a Samsung rep as I really, really doubt Digikey will be able to tell you.

If you find out, please share!!!

Just talked to another gent at digi-key, he said he would contact samsung and make the enquiry, he would have to get back to me next week by email, I will report when I hear from them, thanks for the feed back LEDG.

There are tons of people that want the answer to this question so I’m very eager to hear the answer. Thanks for taking the time.

hey, saw this thread and thought it was interesting enough to create an account to post here. It seems like interesting that an actual Samsung employee would make that comment, and I'm hoping that this will help clear up that lm561C diodes are being used on the strips from Samsung. On the data sheet of the F-Series Gen 3 strips, on pg. 15 of the pdf under the 4. Certification and Declaration test and cert. portion it says compliant to: photo biological safety (LM561c LED).

I'll attach a screenshot of the pdf and it in its entirety, and I hope this clears things up a bit.
