The **FTS-30-R/BL** refers to a specific type of professional-grade **LED Flexible Tape Light** (often part of the "Flexible Tape Series"). These components are widely used in architectural lighting, signage, and decorative electronics. Below is a breakdown of the electronic specifications and parts associated with this model. ### 1. Key Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Model** | FTS-30-R/BL | | **LED Type** | SMD (Surface Mount Device) | | **Color Output** | R/BL (Red / Blue Dual or Specific Color Tone) | | **Input Voltage** | Typically 12V or 24V DC | | **LED Density** | 30 LEDs per meter | | **Power Consumption** | Approx. 7.2W per meter (varies by manufacturer) | | **Beam Angle** | 120° | --- ### 2. Component Breakdown #### A. The LED Chips (SMD) The "30" in the part number signifies there are **30 LEDs per meter**. These are usually **SMD 5050** or **SMD 2835** chips. * **R/BL Designation:** This indicates the phosphor coating or the diode type. It usually refers to a **Red/Blue** output, often used in horticultural (grow lights) or specialized signal lighting. #### B. Flexible PCB (Printed Circuit Board) The substrate is a "Flex-PCB," composed of thin copper layers laminated between polyimide or polyester films. * **Trace Layout:** The circuit is arranged in "cuttable" segments (usually every 3 or 6 LEDs) with copper solder pads. * **Heat Dissipation:** The PCB acts as a basic heat sink to pull thermal energy away from the diodes. #### C. Passive Components (Resistors) Between the LEDs, you will find small **SMD Resistors**. These are critical for: * **Current Limiting:** Protecting the LEDs from thermal runaway by restricting the flow of current. * **Voltage Balancing:** Ensuring the voltage is dropped correctly across each segment of the parallel-series circuit. #### D. Protective Coating Depending on the IP rating (e.g., IP65 or IP67), the parts may be encased in: * **Epoxy Resin:** For basic moisture protection. * **Silicone Sleeve:** For high-end UV resistance and waterproofing. --- ### 3. Connection & Integration To operate the FTS-30-R/BL, the following peripheral electronic parts are required: 1. **Constant Voltage Driver:** A power supply that converts AC (110V/220V) to the required DC voltage. 2. **Dimmer/Controller:** Since these are often used for color effects, a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) controller is used to adjust brightness or blend the Red/Blue channels. 3. **Adhesive Backing:** Most FTS models come with **3M VHB** thermal adhesive tape on the rear for mounting. ---
