Energy efficient white LED

Avago Technologies has announced the launch of 3W miniature high power LEDs for use in a range of solid-state lighting applications.

With dimensions of 5 x 4 x 1.85mm thick, Avago's 3W ASMT-Jx32 is packaged in a 6-leaded SOP and, according to Avago, is capable of being driven to up to 700mA to provide high flux output performance. The LED emitter features a wide viewing angle and by delivering a flux output of a minimum of 100lm at 350mA driving current, is suitable for solid-state lighting applications requiring high flux output performance. The ASMT-Jx32 provides a viewing angle of 140degrees and is designed to handle high thermal and high drive currents. It features a maximum allowable junction temperature of 135°C and has high electrostatic discharge resistance of 16kV which makes it insensitive to ESD. As a result, special ESD protection equipment is not required to handle the part during installation. The LED is encapsulated in a heat and UV resistant silicone material and also features a low thermal resistance of 9 degree-C per Watt.
