It’s reported that Avago Technologies announced the addition of new 3-Watt high power Cool-White (ASMT-Mx20) and Warm-White (ASMT-Mx22) low-profile LEDs to its Moonstone(TM) family.

Avago's ASMT-Mx20/-Mx22 surface-mount LEDs, which target designers of solid-state lighting applications, are capable of being driven at high currents with typical light output of 145 lumens of illumination to deliver one of the best output performances in the industry. These 3W LEDs are ideal for use in streetlights, architectural, portable, retail, and lighting applications.

Avago's ASMT-Mx20/-Mx22 Moonstone LEDs offer a wide 120-degree viewing angle, good color and light output uniformity, and low thermal resistance to maintain long-term device reliability. Moreover, the low-profile design of these LEDs is ideal for use in applications where height is a constraint. The ASMT-Mx20/-Mx22 are compatible with standard surface-mount technology (SMT) reflow soldering processes and provide designers with ease of handling and more flexibility during assembly.

The features of Avago's ASMT-Mx20/-Mx22 Moonstone LEDs include long operating life; energy efficient; high flux output: delivers 145 lm typical @ 700 mA drive current; electrically isolated heat sink is available; heat and UV resistant silicone encapsulation; ESD resistance: 16kV; moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 4; Pb-Free and RoHS compliant

Avago's ASMT-Mx20/-Mx22 Moonstone LEDs are priced competitively at $3.20 each in 1,000 piece quantities. Samples and production quantities are available now through Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners.
