UV LEDs offer uniform optical light patterns

Pacer has introduced UV LEDs that provide an environmentally friendly UV-A alternative to traditional mercury UV lamps.

The OUE8A series, manufactured by TT Optek, allows customers to target specific applications with a narrow wavelength emission, while eliminating any mercury hazard.

It provides design engineers with devices capable of uniform optical light patterns over an extended temperature range.

These UV LEDs are offered in a variety of wavelengths and housed in hermetic TO-46 metal can packages.

They are ideal for medical and industrial applications, including phototherapy treatment, dental applications, fluorescence and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, photo-catalyst curing of inks, coatings and adhesives, as well as paper currency and document validation.

Additional applications include aircraft coatings and biohazard detection equipment/systems, dermatology, forensics, and automotive oil, A/C, and fluid detection.

All Optek's UV LED devices have an 18 typical half-power emission angle and a pulsed forward current of 1.6A.

Operating temperature ranges from -40C to +85C.

The OUE8A Series UV LEDs are RoHS-compliant and ESD-protected for reliable operation.
