Avago is a supplier of analogue interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications.
Available in one of the industry's thinnest packages, Avago's ASMT-MW09 is an energy efficient LED emitter that's encapsulated in a heat and UV-resistant silicone compound for high reliability and long life.
This Moonstone cool white LED emitter provides designers of solid-state lighting applications with a wide viewing angle radiation pattern andsuperior heat dissipation.
It suits lighting applications were height is a constraint.
Typical applications include architectural lighting, track lights, spot lights and street lamps.
Residential lighting, as well as portable and street light applications require LED packages capable of emitting high light output.
As a result, lighting equipment manufacturers are constantly in need of brighter, more reliable high-power LED packages.
Avago's ASMT-MW09 LED offers high reliability and is available in colour temperatures ranging from 4000K to 10,000K to meet these lighting needs.
Avago's ASMT-MW09 is a high-performance, energy efficient device which can handle high thermal and high drive current.
With an exposed pad design on the back of the package, it has low thermal resistance and is able to efficiently transfer heat from the package to the motherboard to maintain long-term reliability.
Moreover, the ASMT-MW09 is compatible with standard SMT reflow soldering processes to provide lighting designers with more freedom and flexibility in designing their applications.
In addition to its slim profile, high brightness and long life, Avago's ASMT-MW09 series of 1W LEDs provide a significant advantage in the production environment.
They can be easily soldered using conventional surface mount techniques to minimise production costs. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
