Ultraviolet (UV) Metal Can LED OUE8A Series

Features:

Peak Wavelengths from 380 nm to 425 nm Uniform Optical Light Pattern High Pulse Current Hermetic TO-46 Metal Can Package RoHs Compliant—No Mercury ESD Protected

The OUE8A Series offers an energy-efficient hermetic TO-46 metal can packaged UV LED source providing a uniform optical light pattern, high current pulse capability, ESD protection and a long operating lifespan. Devices have a 18

o

typical emission angle with peak wavelengths from 375 nm to 425 nm. In order to meet critical wavelength requirements of the industry, the OUE8A Series is divided into groups each with a total wavelength range of only 5 nm. Each wavelength range is subdivided into optical power output ranges from a minimum of 1.8 mW to over 17.0 mW based on power out specifications listed below.

Applications:

Adhesive-Ink Photo Catalyst Curing Currency / Passport Validation Spectroscopy Forensic Medical

Warnings and Handling Instructions

UV-LEDs emit invisible ultraviolet radiation when in operation, which may be harmful to eyes or skin, even for brief periods. Do NOT look directly into the UV-LED during operation. Be sure that you and all persons in the vicinity wear adequate “UV” Safety protection for eyes and skin. If you incorporate a UV-LED into a product, be sure to provide appropriate WARNING labels.
