Silanna UV launches 235nm Quad High-Power far-UVC LED at ICFUST
Silanna UV of Brisbane, Australia – which provides far-UVC light sources for water quality sensors, gas sensors, disinfection, and HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) applications – is launching a new 235nm Quad High-Power far-UVC LED at the International Congress on Far-UVC Science and Technology 2024 (ICFUST) at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, UK (19–21 June). As a sponsor of the event, Silanna UV is showcasing its latest deep-UVC and far-UVC LED innovations.
The SF1-3M1FWL1 is a high-power, far-UVC emitting device, with a peak wavelength of 235nm in a compact LED package, enabling a variety of new applications and potential markets. Protected by a US patent and offering a typical viewing angle of 125° and a typical output power of over 3mW at 30mA, the 235nm UV LED is effective for surface disinfection, air purification, medical device sterilization, home appliance sterilization, and liquid chromatography.
Unlike UV lamps still used in many high-value critical applications and legacy situations, Silanna UV’s easy-to-implement LED replacements are said to have superior energy efficiency and cooler operation. Free of mercury, the LEDs are claimed to offer significant environmental and regulatory advantages, while their robustness reduces maintenance and replacement costs.
The surface-mount (SMD) SF1-3M1FWL1 UV LED component provides flexibility for application design and assembly. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is integrated into the UV LED’s small-footprint 6.8mm x 6.8mm package. Standard tape-and-reel or Gel-Pak packing options are available for manufacturers and users, while Silanna UV also offers pre-solder on a starboard for an eco-friendly evaluation.
