Avago Technologies offers new high-power LEDs

Avago Technologies announced its first series of 1-watt, high-power LEDs in one of the thinnest packages available. Avago's ASMT-MX00 is ideal for use in applications that require ultra-high-brightness LEDs, such as flashlights, reading lamps, architectural and garden lighting.

Avago's new ASMT-MX00 LED package provides manufacturers with two significant advantages. First, it can be easily soldered using conventional surface mount techniques to minimize production costs, and the package is qualified to a JEDEC moisture sensitivity level rating of 2A. For manufacturers, this rating means that the ASMT-MX00 LEDs can be kept in the open air for up to four weeks after being removed from their sealed package without the need to remove absorbed moisture.

The ASMT-MX00 series of 1-watt continuous power dissipation indium gallium nitride LEDs are available in blue, green and phosphor white, and feature a smooth radiation pattern with a 120º viewing angle.

Features:
- The dimensions of the ASMT-MX00 surface mount power package are 8.5 mm wide by 15.85 mm long by 3.3 mm high.
- Features an exposed pad design to provide low thermal resistance between the LED chip junction and printed circuit board to minimize temperature rise and help assure long-term device reliability.
- LED chip is encapsulated in a silicone compound to assure resistance against UV and heat exposure, the packaged LEDs are specified for operation over the -40ºC to +85ºC temperature range, and are capable of withstanding electrostatic discharge levels of 16 kV per ESD Association standard ESD S5.1, Electrostatic Discharge Sensitivity Testing - Human Body Model.
- Color temperatures from approximately 4500 to 5600, 5600 to 7000 and 7000 to 10, 000 K are available.
- Typical total luminous flux of 40 lumens, 10 lumens and 35 lumens, respectively.
- Pb-free and RoHs compliant.
