Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, announced a new miniature autofocus light emitting diode (LED) for use in ultra-slim digital still camera and cell phone designs. Avago Technologies’ ASMT-FJ30-AB000 is a miniature SMT (Surface Mount Technology) dome lamp uses an untinted, non-diffused lens to provide a high luminous intensity within a narrow radiation pattern.

With a footprint that can fit on the head of a pencil eraser, Avago’s ASMT-FJ30 is the thinnest autofocus LED in the industry and can play a key role in helping digital still camera and camera phone designers to further reduce the overall thickness of those applications.  The ASMT-FJ30 is ideal for use as an auxiliary autofocus flash in camera applications that require long distance illumination and a narrow radiation pattern. This narrow angle SMT LED lamp package is designed for applications that require long distance illumination and narrow beam pattern such as auxiliary flash for auto-focus function in digital still camera etc. This miniature package is suitable for applications that have constraint in design area. In order to facilitate pick and place operation, this SMT Lamp is shipped in tape and reel, with 1500 units per reel. This package is compatible with Pb-free reflow soldering process.

The device environmental friendly green product of unique PCB based, namely Miniature Surface Mount AF LED. This lamp type LED utilizes Aluminum Indium Gallium Phosphide (AlInGaP) material technology. The AlInGaP material has a very high luminous efficiency, capable of producing high light output over a wide range of drive currents. The color available for this SMT Lamp package is 612nm Orange.

Avago’s Orange ASMT-FJ30 flash LED is an easy to install miniature surface mount technology (SMT) dome LED lamp, which incorporates an untinted, non-diffused lens that provides light output within a narrow 18-degree radiation pattern to assist the autofocus function in digital still cameras in low-light or dark environments. Moreover, it also provides greater functionality per square inch of printed circuit board (PCB) space while achieving superior performance in terms of brightness and power consumption.  As a result, design engineers can pack more functionality, features and performance in less space to make these devices smaller and enhance the end user’s overall experience.

The ASMT-FJ30 package also provides convenience in the assembly process and is available in 1,500 unit tape and reels to facilitate pick and place operations.  As a result, design engineers can expect shorter time to market and overall cost savings.
