Avago Technologies Announces New Energy Efficient 1-Watt High-Power LED Emitter for SSL Applications

Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced a new competitively priced 1-Watt high power LED emitter for use in solid-state lighting applications.

Avago’s energy efficient ASMT-Ax00 LED features a low-profile package design, wide 130-degree viewing angle, and the ability to handle high thermal and drive currents.  Available in a variety of colors, this LED is ideal for use in architectural, contour, retail display, decorative and garden lighting applications.

Solid-state lighting equipment manufacturers are constantly in need of brighter, more reliable high power LED packages.  Avago’s ASMT-Ax00 is a high performance LED designed to handle high thermal and high drive currents.  By delivering a high flux output of up to 76 lumens (lm) at 350mA, this LED features a maximum allowable junction temperature of 125 degrees-C and high ESD resistance of 16 kV. Moreover, the ASMT-Ax00 is compatible with standard SMT reflow soldering processes to provide lighting designers with more freedom and flexibility in designing their applications.
          
Avago’s ASMT-Ax00 LED emitter is encapsulated in a heat and UV resistant silicone compound for high reliability and long life.  The ASMT-Ax00 is ideal for use in lighting applications where height is a constraint and provides designers of solid-state lighting applications with a wide viewing angle, and superior heat dissipation.
