Build Your Own Star or Square PCB Nichia UVC UV LED Module 280nm 62-200mW 350mA

High-Output UV LEDs with Exceptional Reliability

Nichia's UV Series stands at the forefront of ultraviolet LED technology, offering the highest output UV LEDs with long lifespans and superior efficiency. Ultraviolet LEDs, especially those emitting in the UVC spectrum, are traditionally challenging to manufacture reliably due to the high energy of UV photons. However, Nichia overcomes this challenge by exercising comprehensive control over the entire production process—from wafer manufacturing to final product shipment—ensuring unparalleled reliability and performance.

Understanding UV-C and UV-B Wavelengths

• UV-C (≤280nm): Ultraviolet light with wavelengths equal to or less than 280 nm falls into the UV-C category. UV-C light is highly effective for disinfection and sterilization applications due to its strong germicidal properties, capable of inactivating viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens by disrupting their DNA or RNA.

• UV-B (280–315nm): The UV-B spectrum encompasses wavelengths from 280 nm to 315 nm. Nichia's newly launched 308 nm UV-B LEDs are poised to become a viable alternative to traditional mercury lamps. They find applications in medical treatments, phototherapy, and agricultural processes such as plant growth regulation and pest control.

Nichia's UVC and UVB LED Lineup

Nichia offers a comprehensive range of UVC and UVB LEDs to suit various applications:

• NCSU434C (280 nm): 3535 Glass Package, 3.5×3.5 mm

Build Your Own Star or Square PCB Nichia UVC UVB LED Module 280nm 308nm Order Process Explained & Technical details:

Build Your Own Star or Square PCB Nichia UV LED Module, Made in Germany.

Step 1: Aluminum PCB size and Shape:

The Aluminum PCB shape and size of the Nichia UVC LED Module can be: 

• Square PCB: 10x10mm
• Star PCB: 21x19mm
• Square PCB: 30x30mm

Step 2: Order Quantity (pcs)

How many modules do you need.  While there is no MOQ, we recommend at least 100 pcs of Nichia UVC LED module. 

Step 3: UV LED Wavelength (nm)

Select the desired wavelength for the Nichia LED.

A wavelength range equal to or less than 280nm is called UV-C. Although UV-C can be dangerous to the human body depending on the energy levels, it is widely used in disinfection applications due to its strong virucidal power.

The UV-B range encompasses wavelengths 280-315nm. UV-B LEDs are alternative technology to mercury lamps and can also be used in agricultural applications and others.
