VCC is pleased to announce the addition of a line of Ultraviolet (UV) LEDs. The UV LEDs are available in 3mm and 5mm through-hole packages, with wavelengths of 385nm and 405nm. Both packages are available with a narrow 15º and slightly wider 30º viewing angle.

VCC’s UV LEDs demonstrate high resistance to shock and vibration vs. traditional filament-based light sources, which makes them more reliable in the field. Furthermore,  their low power consumption make our UV LEDs perfect for portable, battery operated, or hand held devices. Like all VCC products, the UV LEDs are 100% RoHS compliant.

Applications for UV LEDs include but are not limited to product disinfection and sterilization, adhesive curing, fire detection, authentication, security, forensics, and leak detection.

VCC’s UV LED offering is available exclusively through Newark Electronics during the month of June.
