Product type
An infrared emitting diode (IRED) is a type of semiconductor device that emits infrared light when an electric current flows through it. These diodes are typically made from materials such as gallium arsenide or gallium aluminum arsenide, which are capable of producing infrared wavelengths. IREDs are commonly used in various applications, including remote controls, optical communication, and sensing technologies.
| Wavelength range | 700 nm to 1000 nm |
| Forward current | 20 mA to 100 mA |
| Reverse voltage | 5 V to 50 V |
| Package types | Through-hole and surface mount |
| Operating temperature | -40°C to 85°C |
When selecting an infrared emitting diode, consider the specific wavelength required for your application, as this can affect performance. Additionally, evaluate the forward current and reverse voltage ratings to ensure compatibility with your circuit design. It's also important to specify the desired package type based on your assembly process, and consider the operating temperature range needed for your environment. Quantities may vary based on project needs, so be clear about your requirements when requesting a quote.
