Product type
Ultraviolet LEDs (UV LEDs) are semiconductor devices that emit ultraviolet light when an electric current passes through them. They are typically made from materials such as gallium nitride (GaN) or aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN). UV LEDs are known for their energy efficiency and long lifespan compared to traditional UV light sources, making them suitable for a variety of applications.
| Wavelength range | 200 nm to 400 nm |
| Power output | 1 mW to 1000 mW |
| Operating voltage | 3 V to 5 V |
| Package types | SMD, through-hole, and chip-on-board |
| Lifespan | up to 50,000 hours |
| Cooling requirements | Active or passive cooling may be required |
When selecting UV LEDs, consider the specific wavelength required for your application, as different wavelengths are effective for different tasks. Buyers should also specify the desired power output and package type. Certifications such as RoHS compliance may be important depending on the application, and it's advisable to request information on the lifespan and thermal management requirements of the LEDs. Quantities can vary based on project needs, so be clear about your requirements when requesting a quote.
