Opto Diode launches 685nm deep red surface-mount LED

Opto Diode Corp of Camarillo, CA, USA (an ITW company) has launched a deep red, surface-mount device (SMD) light-emitting diode for biological analysis, health, science, medical, and veterinary applications. OD-685C LED provides 2mW of radiant power at a forward current of 20mA, peak wavelength of 685nm, and radiant efficiency of 56%. Typical applications require radiometric measurement with tight spectral bandwidth.

The rugged new surface-mount device is fully operational within a very wide temperature range from -65°C to +125°C, making it suitable for use in harsh environmental conditions. The forward voltage is typically 1.8V with a maximum of 2.2V. The spectral bandwidth at 50% is 30nm. For higher optical power the OD-685C may be operated with total power dissipation at 110mW and continuous forward current at 50mA or with the peak forward current (at 10µs @ 300Hz) at 100mA.

Opto Diode's expanding product lines will include several surface-mount devices to be introduced in 2017. For added convenience and affordability, the OD-685C samples are available on tape and reel. The new deep red SMD LED is RoHS and REACH compliant.
