Technical Specifications

The product is a reel of 500 individual 6-pin surface-mount light-emitting diodes built on a standard 5.0mm × 5.0mm PLCC-6 footprint. Each component features an semiconductor die housed inside an optical reflector cup with a 120° radiation pattern. Engineers, hobbyists, and manufacturers use this smd led chip for custom printed circuit board assembly, surface-mount rework, UV glue curing fixtures, and blacklight instrumentation. 

Unlike pre-soldered 5050 SMD flexible LED strip lights, this bulk reel delivers bare electronic components directly to your pick-and-place feeder or hand-soldering workstation. Available in two distinct spectral bands—deep photochemical 365nm-370nm and high-fluorescence 395nm-405nm—these diodes operate at DC 3.0V to 3.4V per circuit. 

Key Features

Standard PLCC-6 Form Factor

Measures 5.0mm × 5.0mm × 1.6mm with standard 6-pin solder pads for surface mount assembly.

Dual Wavelength Choices

Available in 2 spectral bands: 365nm-370nm UVA for curing and detection, or 395nm-405nm purple for visual fluorescence.

Independent Triple-Die Circuitry

The 6-lead configuration provides 3 separate anode-cathode pairs, allowing parallel, series, or isolated channel driving.

Application Scenarios

Custom PCB Prototyping and Light Engine Manufacturing Designers incorporate this smd led chip onto custom aluminum or FR-4 circuit boards for specialized scientific instruments, UV exposure units, and machine vision systems requiring targeted ultraviolet wavelengths.
UV Adhesive and Resin Photopolymer Curing The 365nm-370nm option provides concentrated UVA emission matched to optical adhesives, 3D printing resins, and solder mask photoinitiators, reducing cure cycles in industrial benchtop setups.
Mineral Inspection and Currency Authentication Integrating these 395nm or 365nm emitters into handheld analytical devices excites target fluorescence in geological specimens, forensic traces, banknotes, and security markings.

⚠ Precautions

  • ESD Protection: These ultraviolet LED UV chip components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Operators must wear grounded wrist straps and utilize anti-static mats and ESD-safe tweezers.
  • Optical Safety: UV light emitted at 365nm-370nm is hazardous to human skin and eyes. Wear UV-blocking safety eyewear and protective garments during energized testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the 365nm and 395nm wavelength options?

A:The 365nm-370nm option produces mostly invisible ultraviolet light with minimal visible violet glow, making it optimal for UV resin curing, adhesive bonding, and chemical detection. The 395nm-405nm option emits a pronounced purple-violet visible glow and is widely used for blacklight posters, glow-in-the-dark effects, and leak detection dyes.

Q: Can I connect all 6 pins together?

A:Yes. The 5050 package houses 3 internal LED dies. You can wire the 3 anodes together and the 3 cathodes together to run the chip as a single 60mA emitter, or you can route them individually for custom circuit topologies.

Q: Do these chips need external resistors to operate?

A:Yes. Discrete LED chips must never be connected directly to a DC power rail without current limitation. You must incorporate current-limiting resistors or dedicated constant-current driver ICs into your PCB design.
