Product Group: Vishay Semiconductors, LEDs / October 2015 Author: Franz Rettenmeier Tel: +49-7131-67 2276 E-mail: [email protected] New VLMU3500-385-060 and VLMU3500-385120 Ceramic-Based, High-Power UV LEDs With Silicone Lenses Deliver Exceptionally Long Lifetimes Product Benefits: Extremely long lifetimes Compact 3.5 mm by 3.5 mm surface-mount packages Feature typical radiant power of 780 mW at 500 mA and 1037 mW at 700 mA Emission angles up to 120 Radiant intensity to 730 mW/sr at 700 mA RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green Compatible with reflow soldering processes Moisture Sensitivity Level of 2 in accordance with J-STD-020 Market Applications: UV curing in nail salon, dental, and poster printing applications; blood and counterfeit money detection; and photocatalytic purification Buy It Now: Check distributor stock on the Vishay website The News: Vishay Intertechnology introduces the first two devices in a new series of ceramic-based, high-power UV LEDs with silicone lenses. Designed to provide a reliable, energy-saving replacement for mercury lamps, the Vishay Semiconductors VLMU3500-385-060 and VLMU3500-385-120 deliver exceptionally long lifetimes in compact 3.5 mm by 3.5 mm surface-mount packages for medical, industrial, and printing applications. Silicone lenses enable lifetimes five times higher than that of typical mercury lamps Environmentally friendly — free of heavy metals Shock resistance and immunity to degradation from frequent on / off switching provide increased reliability Allow for the use of simple low-voltage circuitry and require no warm-up period Mercury lamps require complex drive circuits and need two to 15 minutes to warm up Built on InGaN technology Product Group: Vishay Semiconductors, LEDs / October 2015 The Key Specifications: Part number Color Radiant power range @IF = 500 mA (mW) @IF = 700 mA Wavelength range (nm) Max. forward voltage (V) @ IF = 500 mA Typ. radiant intensity (mW/sr) @ IF = 700 mA Emission angle () VLMU3500-385-060 VLMU3500-385-120 Ultraviolet 620 to 940 824 to 1235 380 to 390 4.0 730 390 60 120 Availability: Samples of the new UV LEDs are available immediately.
