1W high-power LEDs in really thin package

This offering can lead to new lighting applications, such as brilliantly-backlit signs no thicker than a picture frame.



Avago's new ASMT-MX00 LED package provides manufacturers with two significant advantages. First, it can be easily soldered using conventional surface mount (SMT) techniques to minimize production costs, and the package is qualified to a JEDEC moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating of 2A.

For manufacturers, this rating means that the ASMT-MX00 LEDs can be kept in the open air (30° C, 60 percent relative humidity) for up to four weeks after being removed from their sealed package without the need to remove absorbed moisture.



"Avago has entered the 1-watt LED market to provide our customers with a unique product combined with the assurance of our industry recognized reliability and ability to deliver in volume," said Cheng Kai Chong, worldwide marketing manager for Avago Technologies' Optoelectronic Products Division. "Our ASMT-MX00, which is the first in a series of 1-watt LED products, provides customers with one of the thinnest package available, superior heat dissipation, compatible to IR soldering, robust moisture resistance and encapsulated in heat and UV-resistant silicone compound."



The ASMT-MX00 series of 1-watt continuous power dissipation indium gallium nitride (InGaN) LEDs are available in blue, green and phosphor white, and feature a smooth radiation pattern with a 120-degree viewing angle (110 degree for white). 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.
