ams OSRAM adds new 3535 UV-C LED for disinfection and treatment solutions
ams OSRAM GmbH of Premstätten, Austria and Munich, Germany has unveiled its new OSLON UV 3535. Serving the growing demand for mercury-free and efficient UV-C disinfection and treatment solutions, the UV-C LED offers 115mW output power from a single chip at 265nm, which is the emission wavelength providing the highest germicidal effectiveness. Combined with what is claimed to be outstanding wall-plug efficiency (WPE) of 5.3%, the optimized system solution has been specifically designed for the UV-C disinfection market.
“Our advancements in package design and semiconductor technology are leading the way in UV-C solutions that blend efficiency with quality and performance,” claims Nina Reiser, senior product manager for UV-C. “Meeting the efficiencies desired while maintaining a long lifetime [an R70B50 lifetime of more than 20,000 hours] and superior price performance becomes more challenging at 265nm, the ideal wavelength to achieve the maximum germicidal effectiveness to fight pathogens,” he adds.
With a standard 3.5mm x 3.5mm footprint, the LED supports versatile, compact designs with high cumulative radiant flux within a 120° emission angle. The enhanced performance of the OSLON UV 3535 LEDs is attributed to innovations in package design and semiconductor technology using the latest flip-chip generation in an open 3535 ceramic package. The AlGaN-based flip chip is a more multi-faceted radiation source than traditional UV-C sources, offering flexibility in wavelength, output power and instant-on functionality. Its open package design and integrated frame technology increase efficiency while reducing costs. The highly reflective frame improves light outcoupling and forward-directed radiation, positioning the products on a strong performance trajectory in the rapidly growing UV-C market, ams OSRAM reckons.
