Leap LER-123A UV EPROM Eraser: Professional Memory Management Solution
The Leap LER-123A represents the gold standard in UV EPROM erasing technology, delivering reliable performance for electronic design engineers maintaining legacy systems. This professional-grade unit accommodates up to 64 EPROM devices (24-pin × 0.6") in its spacious anti-static foam-lined tray, making it ideal for development environments and production applications.
Constructed with robust steel housing, the LER-123A features a powerful 10W mercury vapour UV tube operating at the optimal 253.7nm wavelength for complete memory erasure. The integrated electronic starter extends tube life whilst ensuring consistent performance. A precision mechanical timer provides adjustable exposure from 0-60 minutes, with typical erasure completing in approximately 15 minutes.
Enhanced Safety Features
User protection is paramount with automatic UV shut-off when the drawer opens, preventing accidental exposure to harmful radiation. An LED status indicator confirms tube operation, whilst the sealed construction contains all UV emissions within the unit.
Essential for embedded development, legacy system maintenance, and prototype work, the LER-123A ensures your valuable EPROM inventory remains functional and reprogrammable. Its compact footprint (37cm × 18cm × 10cm) fits comfortably on any workbench whilst delivering industrial-grade reliability.

Questions and Answers
-
Does the LER-123A Work with Modern EEPROM or Flash Memory Devices?
No. The LER-123A is for UV-erasable EPROMs with quartz windows. EEPROM and flash devices erase electrically and can't be erased with UV light. -
What Maintenance Does the UV Tube Require in the LER-123A?
Replace the 10W UV tube approximately every 2,000 hours of operation, or annually. The electronic starter helps extend tube life compared with conventional starters. -
Can the LER-123A Erase Multiple EPROM Types Simultaneously?
Yes, as long as they all need similar exposure times. All devices get uniform UV exposure across the whole erasure area. -
Will Room Lighting or Sunlight Affect EPROMs Stored Near the LER-123A?
No, normal indoor lighting poses no risk. Direct sunlight can erase EPROMs over weeks, so keep the protective labels on EPROM windows unless you're erasing them. The LER-123A's sealed construction prevents any UV leakage. -
What Accessories Are Included with the LER-123A EPROM Eraser?
The LER-123A comes with the main unit, user manual and AC power cord. The anti-static foam tray comes pre-installed and the 10W UV tube factory-fitted, ready to use on delivery. -
How Long Does It Take to Completely Erase an EPROM with the LER-123A?
Typically about 15 minutes. You can set exposure from 0 to 60 minutes depending on chip type and erasure needs. The 10W UV tube works at the optimal 253.7nm wavelength for complete erasure. -
What Types of EPROM Packages Can the LER-123A Accommodate?
The tray holds up to:
- 64 devices in 24-pin packages
- 50 devices in 32-pin packages
- 40 devices in 40-pin packages
The anti-static foam tray measures 26.5cm × 15cm and takes standard 0.6" pitch devices.
-
Is the LER-123A Safe to Operate in Office Environments?
Yes. UV shuts off automatically when the drawer opens, the steel housing fully contains the UV, and an LED shows status. This prevents accidental exposure to UV radiation.
