These Nine-Digit Calculator Numeric Seven-Segment LED Displays are intended for use under pulsed conditions by enabling the common cathode of each digit sequentially and enabling the desired Segment and Decimal Point anodes in phase with the character enabling pulse. The pulse rate is kept high enough so that light from each character appears to the eye to be constant.
The DIS206A Nine-Digit display assembly manufactured by Bowmar uses Chip-on-Board (COB) technology with each character formed by bonding seven individual Segment LED chips and one Decimal Point LED chip directly to a printed circuit board (PCB) and protecting them with a one-piece flat protection lens.
• 0.12”/3.0 mm Characters • Seven-Segment Digits with Right-Hand Decimals • Continuous Uniform Segments • Wide Viewing Angle • Common-Cathode Configuration for Multiplex Applications • 0.2”/5.08 mm Character Spacing • Integrated Red Plastic Lens |

The displays are formed by bonding monolithic GaAsP (Gallium Arsenide Phosphide) LED chips integrating either one character with seven Segment Bars or one Decimal Point, each directly to a double-sided FR4 printed circuit board (PCB) and placing a one-piece red acrylic protecting lens on top of the assembly with four heat stakes.
The DIS206A uses a 2.50" / 63.5 mm by 1.02” / 26.0 mm rectangular printed circuit board (PCB) with 19 solder tabs with a 0.1” / 2.54 mm pitch arranged on the bottom of the display module.
