D ATA S H E E T : High Performance UVC LEDs for Instrumentation Optan UVC LEDs from Crystal IS offer industry leading light output, reliability, and spectral quality in a TO-39 package. Available in peak wavelengths from 250 nm-280 nm and light output bins from 0.5 mW-4 mW, these LEDs provide tremendous value for spectroscopic applications in analytical and life sciences instrumentation. Optan’s high light output provides unparalleled detection sensitivity while the excellent spectral quality provides measurement linearity over a wider range. Optan offers best-inclass reliability and lifetime for uninterrupted, continuous operation. We achieve superior efficiency and reliability through proprietary technology by using low defect aluminum nitride (AlN) substrates, and by epitaxial growth of crystal layers which preserve the low defect densities of the substrate. The resulting product has a higher light output and longer lifetime in the UVC spectrum than other commercially available LEDs. Product designers can use the information in this document, in conjunction with the Crystal IS thermal management note HS01, to start designing applications to meet your unique specifications.

LEDs are produced with semiconductor technology that is subject to process variation, yielding a range of flux performance that is approximately Gaussian in nature. To provide customers with fine granularity within the overall flux distribution, Crystal IS separates LEDs into optical power bins. 2. Output power is measured using a 100 mA current pulse of < 1s duration at an ambient temperature of 25°C +/- 5°C with the diode inserted into an integrating sphere.

T he pitch of the LED lead should match the pitch of the mounting holes on the PCB during component placement. 2. The tip of the soldering iron should never touch the lens. 3. R ecommended soldering pattern is illustrated in Figure 1. In addition, please ensure that the central copper slug in the header is thermally connected to the board with thermal paste or grease. A heat sink should be used to keep the case temperature of the LED below 55°C at a forward current of 100 mA. Please refer to the Crystal IS thermal management note HS01 for heat sink recommendations. 4. A fter soldering, avoid applying external force, stress, and excessive vibration until the product has returned to ambient temperature. Recommended Soldering Conditions Distance between melted solder sides to bottom of LED should be 3 mm or longer. Parameter Dip Soldering (Lead Free Solder) Hand Soldering (Lead Free Solder) Pre Heat 90°C max. (Backside of PCB) -- Pre Heat Time 60 seconds max. -- Temperature260°C max. (Solder Bath) 300°C max. (Soldering Iron Tip) Soldering Time 3 seconds max. 5 seconds max. Recommended Cleaning > Cleaning with isopropyl alcohol is recommended. Propanol and ethyl alcohol may also be used. > DO NOT use ultrasonic cleaners with Crystal IS LEDs. > DO NOT use acetone or trichloroethylene to clean Crystal IS LEDs. Problems with LEDs such as reduction in light output, opens, or shorts can be prevented as long as the LEDs are soldered under these conditions. CIRCUIT BOARD Figure 1 COPPER SLUG (TOP) THERMAL PAD (BOTTOM) WWW.CISUVC.COM THERMAL PASTE (MIDDLE) Recommended Operation Crystal IS LEDs should be mounted on a heat sink to keep the case temperature below 55°C at a forward current of 100 mA during operation. Please refer to the Crystal IS thermal management note HS01 for heat sink recommendations. Circuits should be designed for constant current. Handling Precautions LEDs are sensitive to static electricity. When handling, proper ESD protection is required, including: > Eliminating static charge > Using grounded wriststrap, ESD footwear, clothes, and floors > Grounded workstation and tools Eye Safety Guidelines During operation, the LED emits high intensity ultraviolet (UV) light, which is harmful to skin and eyes. UV light is hazardous to skin and may cause cancer. Avoid exposure to UV light when LED is operational. Precautions must be taken to avoid looking directly at the UV light without the use of UV light protective glasses. Do not look directly at the front of the LED or at the LED’s lens when LED is operational. Attach the following warning labels on products/systems that use UV LEDs. RoHS Compliance The levels of environmentally sensitive, persistent biologically toxic (PBT), persistent organic pollutants (POP), or otherwise restricted materials in this product are below the maximum concentration values (also referred to as the threshold limits) permitted for such substances, or are used in an exempted application, in accordance with EU Directive 2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS), as amended through April 21, 2006.
