UVB/UVC LEDs boast multiple wavelength options

The company has now added a groundbreaking solution. It has launched the Gen2 XBT-3535 series of UVB/UVC surface mount LEDs.which boast multiple wavelength options (or variants).

Redefining the boundaries of performance and versatility, these LEDs offer several wavelengths that deliver massive improvements in overall performance, surface disinfection efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

The XBT-3535 UVB/UVC LEDs expand upon the company's existing UVA and near-UV portfolio of 365 nm, 385 nm, 395 nm, 405 nm, and 415 nm LEDs by adding Gen2 wavelengths in the UVC range of 265 nm and 275 nm, as well as new UBV options in the 285 nm, 308 nm and 340 nm range.

Available in mid and high-power options, the integrated chip-on-board design of the Gen2 XBT-3535 series offers maximum adaptability, optimum cooling and easy system integration into a broad range of UVB- and UVC-based LED designs, providing a luminous/radiant flux range of 14mW to 70mW and a forward voltage range of 4.6V to 6.2V.

The expanded wavelengths, such as the 265 nm variant, specifically help address air, water and surface application areas requiring higher disinfection efficiency and performance.

The 265 nm variant in the Gen2 XBT-3535 series touts an impressive output power of more than 60 mW at 500 mA.

On the UBV side, the 285 nm variant offers an output power exceeding 85 mW at 500 mA.

In comparison, the 308 nm variant (available in a cost-effective "Mini" version with a smaller illumination area and lower power) provides an output power of more than 30 mW at 150 mA.

Rounding off the company's UBV solutions is the 308 nm variant, which stands out with its impressive 90 mW output at 500 mA power offering.

The XBT-3535 UVB/UVC LEDs are offered in a 3.5 mm x 3.5 mm package with an optically transparent window (1414; 3535 metric size). The LEDs are designed using a standard SMT process with a 130° viewing angle and are presented in forward current options of 150mA, 500mA or 800mA. The devices are RoHS and REACH compliant and have an 8000V ESD sensitivity based on ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 (HBM, Class 3B) standards.

Target applications include analytical instruments for life sciences and medical equipment, UV curing, blood gas measurements, phototherapy, solar panel testers, water/air/surface disinfection, fluorescence spectroscopy, horticulture, healthcare, and food and pharmaceutical processing.
