1 Crystal IS introduces Optan UVC LEDs in a TO-39 package which offer superior light output and spectral quality. Available in peak wavelengths from 250 nm 280 nm and power bins from 0.5 mw-4 mw, these LEDs are ideal for spectroscopic applications in analytical and life sciences instrumentation. Optan s high light output increases the sensitivity of detection while the excellent spectral quality provides measurement linearity over a wider range. Optan offers best-in-class reliability and lifetime for uninterrupted, continuous operation. We achieve superior efficiency and reliability by using low defect aluminum nitride (AlN) substrates, and by epitaxial growth of crystal layers which preserves the low defect densities of the substrate. The result is higher power and longer lifetimes in the UVC spectrum than other commercially available LEDs. FEATURES Available in peak wavelengths from 250 nm to 280 nm Industry leading light output available in bins from 0.5 mw to 4 mw Excellent spectral quality Viewing angle of 15 Maximum drive current of 100 ma Superior lifetime and reliability Hermetically sealed LEDs RoHS-compliant Product designers can use the information in this document, in conjunction with the Crystal IS thermal management note HS01, to start designing applications to your unique specifications.

3 PRODUCT NOMENCLATURE For Optan, the emission wavelength is binned between 250 nm and 280 nm and the optical power is binned from 0.5 mw-4 mw. The part number designation is explained as follows: OPTANAB A denotes the peak wavelength in nm B denotes the bin for minimum optical ma Therefore, a 255 nm Optan LED with a minimum optical output of 1 mw follows the designation: OPTAN255J Part Number 1 Peak Wavelength 2 Optical 100 ma 3 OPTAN250J 250 nm 1.0 mw mw OPTAN255H 250 nm nm 0.5 mw mw OPTAN255J 255 nm 1.0 mw mw OPTAN260J 260 nm 1.0 mw mw OPTAN275H 270 nm nm 0.5 mw mw OPTAN275J 275 nm 1.0 mw mw OPTAN275K 275 nm 2.0 mw-3.0 mw OPTAN275L 275 nm 3.0 mw mw OPTAN280J 280 nm 1.0 mw mw OPTAN280K 280 nm 2.0 mw mw OPTAN280L 280 nm 3.0 mw mw Notes: 1. LEDs are produced with semiconductor technology that is subject to process variation, yielding a range of flux performance that is approximately Gaussian in nature. To provide customers with fine granularity within the overall flux distribution, Crystal IS separates LEDs into optical power bins. 2. Peak wavelength measurement tolerance is ± 2.5 nm. 3. Optical power output measurement tolerance is ± 10%. Output power is measured using a 100 ma current pulse of < 1s duration at an ambient temperature of 25 C ± 5 C with the diode inserted into an integrating sphere. CRYSTAL IS TECHNICAL DATA SHEET 3

10 Recommended Soldering Guidelines 1. The pitch of the LED lead should match the pitch of the mounting holes on the PCB during component placement. 2. When soldering wire to the LED, use an individual heat shrink tube to insulate the leads to prevent accidental contact short circuit. 3. Maintain a minimum of 3 mm clearance between the base of the LED and the surface of the PCB, as illustrated below in figure (a). If bending the LED is needed, the bend point must be at least 3 mm from the base of the header as shown in figure (b). 3 mm min. 3 mm min. RECOMMENDED CLEANING Cleaning with isopropyl alcohol is recommended. Propanol and ethyl alcohol may also be used. DO NOT use ultrasonic cleaners with Crystal IS LEDs. DO NOT use acetone or trichloroethylene to clean Crystal IS LEDs. Problems with LEDs such as reduction in light output, opens or shorts can be prevented as long as the LEDs are soldered under these conditions. (a) (b) 4. The tip of the soldering iron should never touch the lens. 5. After soldering, avoid applying external force, stress and excessive vibration until the product returns to ambient temperature. RECOMMENDED SOLDERING CONDITIONS Distance between melted solder sides to bottom of LED should be 3 mm or longer.

11 Recommended Operation Crystal IS LEDs should be mounted on a heat sink to keep the case temperature below 55 C at a forward current of 100 ma during operation. Please refer to the Crystal IS thermal management note HS01 for heat sink recommendations. Circuits should be designed for constant current. Handling Precautions LEDs are sensitive to static electricity. When handling, proper ESD protection is required, including: Eliminating static charge Using grounded wriststrap, ESD footwear, clothes and floors Grounded workstation and tools ATTENTION Observe precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive devices. EYE SAFETY GUIDELINES During operation, the LED emits high intensity ultraviolet (UV) light, which is harmful to skin and eyes. UV light is hazardous to skin and may cause cancer. Avoid exposure to UV light when LED is operational. Precautions must be taken to avoid looking directly at the UV light without the use of UV light protective glasses. Do not look directly at the front of the LED or at the LED s lens when LED is operational. Attach the following warning labels on products/systems that use UV LEDs.! High intensity ultraviolet light Eye and skin hazard avoid exposure to eyes/skin Do not look directly at light use eye protection Use warning labels on systems containing UV LEDs CRYSTAL IS TECHNICAL DATA SHEET 11
