Avago Technologies Introduces Miniature 3-Watt High Power LED with High Color Rending Index and 3W Luxeon Drop-in Replacement

With dimensions of 5 mm by 4 mm by 1.85 mm thick, Avago’s compact 3W ASMT-Jx33 is packaged in a 6-leaded small outline package (SOP) and capable of being driven to up to 700 mA to provide high flux output performance.  Additionally, this competitively priced compact LED emitter provides a wide viewing angle and features long life reliability.

The ASMT-Jx33 has a wide viewing angle of 140-degrees to meet the needs of designers who require good color uniformity. This LED provides a high typical CRI of 80 for cool white and 90 for warm white.  Avago’s 3W emitter is a high performance LED designed to handle high thermal and high drive currents.  By delivering a high flux output of 70 lumens (lm) at 350 mA, this new 3W LED emitter is ideal for use in general lighting applications such as medical lighting, merchandise display lighting and museum lighting.  Additionally, this LED features a maximum allowable junction temperature of 135 degrees-C thus providing lighting designers with more design flexibility. In addition, this part offers a high Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) resistance of 16 kV which makes this LED insensitive to ESD.  As a result, special ESD protection equipment is not required to handle the part during installation.  Moreover, this 3W LED is compatible with standard SMT reflow soldering processes which helps lower design cost.

Features:
- Available in Cool White, Neutral White and Warm White colors
- Small footprint and low profile
- High CRI
- High flux output
- High maximum junction temperature
- Direct heat transfer from metal slug to mother board
- Silicone encapsulation
- Compatible with reflow soldering processes
- Long operating life
- Non-ESD sensitive (threshold > 16kV)
- Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1
- Pb-Free and RoHS compliant

Avago Technologies (Nasdaq: AVGO), a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced the expansion of its series of compact, energy efficient 3-Watt (3W) high power LEDs for solid-state lighting (SSL) applications.  Avago’s ASMT-Ax3x Power LED emitter has a footprint that is one of the most commonly used throughout the SSL industry.  Typical applications include architectural lighting, retail display lighting and decorative lighting.

Avago’s ASMT-Ax3x provides superior light output uniformity with a wide viewing angle of 140 degrees which is suitable for backlighting of advertising displays, channel letters and contour lighting. The ASMT-Ax3x delivers high flux output up to 113 lumens (lm) at 350 mA driving current and features a maximum allowable junction temperature of 135 degrees-C to provide lighting designers with more design flexibility.  Moreover, this LED has a high Electrostatic Discharge (ESD resistance of 16kV which makes this LED insensitive to ESD.  As a result, special ESD protection equipment is not required to handle the part during installation. Additionally, this part is compatible to IR reflow soldering process.

The ASMT-Ax3x is encapsulated in a heat and UV resistant silicone compound and also features a low thermal resistance of 10 degree-C per Watt due to its superior heat dissipation capability.  In addition, the electrically neutral heat pad allows arrays to be connected on a common heat sink – thus simplifying thermal design.

Features:
- Available in cool white, neutral white, warm white, royal blue, blue, amber, red-orange and red colors
- Drop-in replacement for 3W Luxeon platform LEDs
- High flux output and energy efficient
- Low thermal resistance to provide improved device reliability and extend operating life
- Direct heat transfer from metal slug to mother board
- Silicone encapsulation
- Compatible with reflow soldering processes
- Non-ESD sensitive (threshold > 16kV)
- Moisture sensitivity: MSL 2a
- Pb-Free and RoHS compliant
