TT electronics Optek Technology (Carrollton, TX) has developed a family of ultraviolet LEDs in the UV-A spectrum. The OUE8A Series UV LEDs are offered in a variety of wavelengths and housed in hermetic TO-46 metal can packages. The LEDs allow customers to target specific applications with the narrow wavelength emission, and promise to eliminate environmental concerns associated with the disposal of traditional mercury UV lamps.
The UV LEDs target such medical applications as phototherapy treatment, dental applications, and fluorescence and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy.
The OUE8A Series UV LED family includes:
OUE8A380Y1 - peak wavelength ranges from 375nm to 380 nm, with an optical power output range of 1.8mW to 8.1mW;
OUE8A385Y1 - peak wavelength ranges from 380nm to 385nm, with an optical power output of 1.8mW to 8.1mW;
OUE8A390Y1 - peak wavelength ranges from 385nm to 390nm, with an optical power output of 1.8mW to 8.1mW;
OUE8A395Y1 - peak wavelength ranges from 390nm to 395nm, with an optical power output of 3.1mW to 9.8mW;
OUE8A400Y1 - peak wavelength ranges from 395nm to 400nm, with an optical power output of 5.8mW to 13.4mW;
OUE8A405Y1 - peak wavelength ranges from 400nm to 405nm, with an optical power output of 5.8mW to 13.4mW;
OUE8A410Y1 - peak wavelength ranges from 405nm to 410nm, with an optical power output of 5.8mW to 13.4mW;
OUE8A415Y1 - peak wavelength ranges from 410nm to 415nm, with an optical power output of 7.3mW to 15.4mW;
OUE8A420Y1 - peak wavelength ranges from 415nm to 420nm, with an optical power output of 7.3mW to 15.4mW;
OUE8A425Y1 - peak wavelength ranges from 420nm to 425nm, with an optical power output of 7.3mW to 15.4mW.
All of Optek's UV LED devices have an 18-degree typical half power emission angle and a pulsed forward current of 1.6A. Operating temperature ranges from -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C. The OUE8A Series UV LEDs are RoHS compliant and ESD protected for reliable operation.
Typical pricing for the OUE8A Series UV LEDs is approximately $11.40 each in quantities of 100 pieces. Lead time, if stock is not available, is from 6 to 8 weeks.
