AP Technologies has announced the international release of Opto Diode Corporation's latest iteration of MRA metal reflector array technology. MRA products combine extremely low thermal resistance packaging with high optical efficiency beam-shaping reflector cavities which are gold-plated for near-infra-red and silver-plated for the UV and visible. This combination means that the LED die operate at far higher outputs than in conventional moulded packages, and the optical efficiency is several times that of simple 'chip-on-board' solutions.
As a result a single compact 2-leaded MRA can replace several hundred moulded devices with the further benefit of excellent beam quality with no 'halo' effect.
These latest products offer system designers the familiar compact footprint and extremely low profile package but with a FWHM beam angle of 70 degrees, resulting in a 2.5x increase in the radiant intensity of the 110-degree design.
The new 070 series are available in the same range of wavelengths as the original products, 405, 470, 525, 615, 830 and 870nm, and the use of standard LED chip technology means that there is plenty of scope for application specific solutions requiring different wavelengths.
