What outcome happens when drive currents massively exceed forward maximums in LEDs?

💡 Explanation

Catastrophic thermal runaway occurs from the exceeded current because the increased junction temperature causes decreased resistance and further current increases, therefore destruction is the result, rather than a slower degradation or recoverable reduced output.

• Which outcome occurs when a robotic arm's limit switch malfunctions, sending unexpected signals to the PLC?
• Which risk increases when a gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine operates with excessive exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)?
• Which risk escalates in an automated gantry system subjected to intense EMI due to encoder miscounts?
• Which outcome occurs when thermal expansion pushes beyond tolerance limits of precision-ground gear teeth inside a transmission?
• Which outcome occurs when chlorides permeate reinforced concrete structures leading to rebar depolarization?
• Which outcome occurs when a reinforced concrete beam experiences chloride ion penetration beyond a threshold?
