Can usb flash drives without case leak any uv?

If you have a usb flash drive without any case just the circuit board can it be bad to look at due to uv?

Newbie question.

No.

Uv ("uv") is ultra-violet light.

I believe that you mean or are concerned about some form of electromagnetic radiation as is commonly a concern by some cell phone users.

Still no.

But if you are truly concerned, USB's are very inexpensive.

Just get another USB drive with a case. Transfer the data from the uncased drive to a cased USB drive and be done with it all.

I thought they are called flash drives because they use uv in some way.

Not in the slightest, actually.
