Avago Technologies of San Jose, CA, USA has launched what it claims is the thinnest autofocus LED in the industry, with a 3.2mm x 2.4mm x 2.4mm footprint, helping to further reduce the overall thickness of digital still camera and camera phones. The ASMT-FJ30 is suited to use as an auxiliary autofocus flash in camera applications that require long-distance illumination and a narrow radiation pattern.

The orange ASMT-FJ30 flash LED is an easy-to-install miniature surface-mount technology (SMT) dome LED lamp, which incorporates an untinted, non-diffused lens that provides high-intensity light output within a consistent, narrow 18º radiation pattern to assist the autofocus function in digital still cameras in low-light or dark environments. It also provides greater functionality per square inch of printed circuit board (PCB) space, while achieving better performance in terms of brightness and power consumption. As a result, design engineers can pack more functionality, features and performance in less space, Avago says.

The ASMT-FJ30 package also provides convenience in the assembly process, and is available in 1500-unit 16mm tape on 380mm (15-inch) diameter reels to facilitate pick & place operations (boosting time to market and overall cost savings).

ASMT-FJ30 SMT LEDs are priced at $0.55 in 10,000-piece quantities.
