Mouser Electronics Inc, an engineering resource and global authorized distributor of semiconductors and electronic components, has been named Top Catalog Distributor for 2013 by LED maker Philips Lumileds of San Jose, CA, USA (which has a comprehensive portfolio of high-power, mid-power, array, and color LEDs).
Mouser was cited specifically for Point of Sales Top Performance. The global design-fulfillment distributor says it holds the largest market share industry-wide, has the greatest number of new customers, and is the fastest with new product introductions of any of Lumileds' catalog distributors.
"With Mouser's help, we have the opportunity to bring our comprehensive portfolio of application-optimized LEDs to an even broader group of new and innovative companies," says Kris Keuser, Lumileds' senior director of worldwide distribution. "Our business union provides the perfect avenue for our extensive product line to quickly meet the demands of our rapidly growing customer base," he adds.
"In addition to demonstrating a highly collaborative effort in marketing, Lumileds continues to launch leading-edge, high-quality lighting components," comments Russell Rasor, Mouser's VP of supplier management. "That fits perfectly with the Mouser model to deliver the newest products and advanced technologies to lighting designers."
Lumileds claims to have pioneered the use of solid-state lighting in products such as the first LED backlit TV, the first LED flash in camera phones, and the first LED daytime running lights (DRLs) for cars. Lumileds claims that it now offers one of the most comprehensive portfolios of LEDs. Mouser stocks all of the latest innovations from the firm.
Lumileds brings the LED's qualities of energy efficiency, digital control and long life to spotlights, downlights, high-bay and low-bay lighting, indoor area lighting, architectural and specialty lighting as well as retrofit lamps. Also, offering LEDs in chip, packaged and module form delivers supply chain flexibility for next-generation illumination.
