Case Question
Standard LED reliability testing typically covers 1,000 hours. However, industrial applications demand much higher reliability. Several leading Japanese industrial manufacturers required the IR LED used in their encoders to withstand over 10,000 hours of burn-in testing.
Solutions
To meet the stringent needs of end customers, Ennostar provided its partners with a highly reliable 850nm epi wafer (ES-WR8556SC). Using this epi wafer, partners successfully developed encoder IR LED components that passed the 10,000-hour burn-in test.
Project Results
The solution was adopted by multiple Japanese industrial giants for their encoder applications and has been in continuous use for nearly 20 years.
