LED chip and component maker SemiLEDs Corp of Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan has launched two new 0.06W products to its ultraviolet (UV) LED portfolio. The new series of 3020 PLCC UV LEDs and 5mm through-hole lamp-type UV LEDs incorporate SemiLEDs’ patented chip technology to offer what is claimed to be higher performance for cost-sensitive, retail applications.

Both products are available now for sampling and volume production in wavelengths of 365–425nm with typical output power of 5-15mW at 20mA (power is dependent on wavelength).

SemiLEDs says that the 3020 product series can provide a solution to those looking for an LED replacement for commercial UV tubes. The 3020 series features what are claimed to be a smaller footprint, excellent thermal properties, and high output power densities in a well distributed light pattern, suiting tube replacement applications.

The 5mm through-hole lamp-type UV LED is designed with a 20-30 degree beam angle for applications that require more directed and concentrated light in a smaller surface area, such as counterfeit detection and cosmetic retail markets.
