Description

The 5mm UV LED (SH Type) is a specialized light-emitting diode that emits ultraviolet (UV) light when an electric current is applied. UV LEDs are used in various applications where ultraviolet light is required for tasks such as fluorescent material detection, counterfeit detection, and UV-curing processes.

Key Features:

LED Type: The LED is of the 5mm variety, which means it has a standard 5mm diameter that fits into standard LED mounting holes.

Ultraviolet (UV) Emission: This LED emits ultraviolet light, typically in the UV-A range, which is used for a variety of applications.

SH Type: The “SH” designation may refer to a specific packaging or housing type used to protect the LED components and make them easy to handle or mount.

Wavelength: UV LEDs can have specific wavelengths within the ultraviolet spectrum, typically ranging from around 365 nanometers (nm) to 400 nm or higher, depending on the model.

Forward Voltage and Current: Like all LEDs, the UV LED has a specific forward voltage and current rating at which it operates optimally.

Long Lifespan: LEDs, in general, are known for their long operational lifespan and low power consumption.

RoHS Compliant: UV LEDs are often RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning they meet environmental regulations regarding the use of certain materials.

Applications:

Fluorescent Material Detection: Used in applications where the UV light is used to detect fluorescent materials or substances. For example, it is used in forensic applications to reveal hidden evidence.

Counterfeit Detection: In security and anti-counterfeiting applications, UV LEDs can reveal security features or patterns that are invisible under normal lighting conditions.

UV Curing: UV LEDs are used in UV-curing processes, where ultraviolet light is used to cure adhesives, inks, or coatings rapidly.

Sanitization: UV-C LEDs, which emit a different wavelength within the UV spectrum, are used for disinfection and sterilization purposes, such as in UV-C germicidal lamps.

Scientific and Analytical Instruments: UV LEDs can be integrated into scientific instruments for fluorescence analysis and other research purposes.

Entertainment and Special Effects: UV LEDs are used for creating special lighting effects in entertainment and artistic applications, such as blacklight posters and UV-responsive art.

5mm UV LEDs are essential components for applications that require the emission of ultraviolet light. Their compact size, low power consumption, and long lifespan make them valuable tools in a variety of fields, from scientific research to security and creative arts.
