Rayvio Shipping New XD MID-Power and High-Power Xr Series UV-C LEDs

Tags: UV LEDs, LED

Health and hygiene company RayVio Corp of Haywood, CA, USA, which is commercializing deep-ultraviolet (UV) LEDs and consumer disinfection solutions, is volume shipping its new 280nm XD mid-power and XR high-power UV-C LEDs, and has established what it clams is industry-leading 10,000 hour benchmarks for lifetime reliability – critical to the success of consumer and medical-grade products. Both the XD and XR Series are available as standard 3535-packaged emitters or mounted on star boards for easy test development and product integration. Both devices are globally available in-stock at distributor Digi-Key Corp.

“We are already stocking both the XD and XR Series and are well equipped to help our customers from a technical standpoint as the demand for UV-C continues to grow,” says Nick Olson, manager, Semiconductor Product Group, at Digi-Key Electronics.

For what is claimed to be the first time in the industry, RayVio is introducing documented lifetime ratings at multiple currents for both the XD and XR devices. This allows designers to engineer solutions for optimum performance, lifetime and reliability characteristics for their particular application.

“These are the most cost-effective UV-C LEDs available and that means more opportunity to develop new solutions,” claims CEO Dr Robert C. Walker. “For applications where cost is the primary driver, the XD mid-power Series is optimum, and when milliwatt-power is the priority our XR Series - with up to 12mW of power - is superior and yet very cost effective on a $/mW basis.”

RayVio says that, regardless of drive current, its UV-C LEDs have demonstrated Sterility Assurance Levels of 10-6 (99.9999%) and can be applied to applications from surface and water disinfection to medical-grade sterilization.
