New VLMU5200-385-140 Ceramic-Based UV LED With Silicone Lens Offers Extremely Long Lifetime and High Power to 3600 mW
Vishay Intertechnology introduces a new ceramic-based, high-power UV LED with silicone lens. Designed to provide a reliable, energy-saving replacement for mercury lamps, the Vishay Semiconductors VLMU5200-385-140 delivers an exceptionally long lifetime in a 5.2 mm by 5.2 mm by 3.1 mm surface-mount package for medical, industrial, and printing applications.
- Silicone lens enables 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
- Allows for the use of simple low-voltage circuitry and requires no warm-up period
- Mercury lamps require complex drive circuits and need two to 15 minutes to warm up
