New Yorker Electronics has added to its portfolio of short wavelength ultraviolet (UVC) emitting diodes with its release of the a Vishay Intertechnology compact SMD device for sterilisation, sanitation and purification applications.

Designed to replace mercury UVC lamps, the Vishay Semiconductors VLMU35CL00-280-120 delivers an extremely long lifetime in a 3.5mm by 3.5mm by 1.2mm surface-mount package with a quartz window that eliminates the need for an external lens.

The device offers an emission angle of ± 60°C and high radiant power to 3.2mW at 20mA or 7.5mW at 50mA.

Built on AlGaN technology, the VLMU35CL00-280-120 features maximum forward voltage of 6.5V, a wavelength range of 265nm to 285nm, and forward current up to 70mA, compared to 30mA for typical competing parts.

The emitter diode’s specifications make it ideal for water and air purification, physical surface sterilisation, medical disinfection, and portable sanitisers.

RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green, the VLMU35CL-280-120 is compatible with reflow
