Recently, Avago Technologies has released two series of compact LEDs including ASMT-FJ70 and ASMT-FG70 devices that reduce space requirements for designing auto-focus auxiliary flash functionality into digital cameras.
The ASMT-Fx70 LEDs are available in a tiny, environmentally-friendly 3.6 (L) by 3.2 (W) by 3.4 (H) mm surface-mount package that helps meet market demand for thinner digital cameras.
The ASMT-FJ70 devices use AlInGaP material technology and feature a 12 degree viewing angle, while the ASMT-FG70 devices use InGaN material technology and provide a 14 degree viewing angle.
The ASMT-FJ70 devices are orange and the ASMT-FG70 devices are claimed to be the industry’s first green auxiliary flash LEDs in this size range.
The two modules come in a lead-free and RoHS 6 compliant package and will be shipped in tape and reel to facilitate pick and place manufacturing. The operating temperature range is -40° to +85° C.
