Orange and Green color auto focus auxiliary flash LEDs from Avago for cameras

Avago Technologies has made available new small-size compact LEDs for auto focus auxiliary flash light design in digital cameras. The new ASMT-FJ70 device is made using Aluminum Indium Gallium Phosphate (AlInGaP) semiconductor material and feature a 12 degree viewing angle, while the ASMT-FG70 devices use Indium Gallium Nitride (InGaN) material and provide a 14 degree viewing angle.

The orange color ASMT-FJ70 and the green color ASMT-FG70 measure 3.6 (L) by 3.2 (W) by 3.4 (H) mm and packed in surface-mount package.

"Digital cameras continue to shrink in size while growing in functionality and capacity, and our new auxiliary flash LEDs address this challenge by allowing designers to pack in greater functionality per square inch of the camera," said Francis Khor, director of marketing for the optoelectronics products at Avago. "The Avago ASMT-Fx70 LEDs provide the best of both worlds, as they offer a small design footprint without sacrificing auto-flash performance."

Additional ASMT-FJ70 and ASMT-FG70 Features
Lead (Pb)-free and RoHS 6 compliant package
Shipped in tape and reel to facilitate pick and place manufacturing
Operating temperature range of -40° to +85° C
