IR SMD product line expanded

TT electronics Optek Technology has expanded its IR SMD product line with the development of an 880nm wavelength infra-red light emitting diode that delivers a 100deg inclusive beam angle.

In response to customer requests for a surface mount infra-red light source with a wider beam angle, TT electronics Optek Technology has expanded its IR SMD product line with the development of an 880nm wavelength infra-red light emitting diode that delivers a 100deg inclusive beam angle.

Designated the OPR2800 Series, the high power GaAIAs LEDs are housed in a surface mount chip carrier package that matches a PLCC-2 footprint, and are ideal for use as single IR LED sources as well as arrays of SMD package IR LEDs.

According to Alan Bennett, vice president of sales and marketing for Optek Technology, the construction of the LED package allows the device to be used in a variety of applications.

"The SMCC package features a flat lens window, which allows a wide beam angle for the LED," explained Bennett.

"This package design makes the infra-red LED suitable for both single device as well as array applications".

"The OPR2800 Series infra-red LED is also ideal for applications in non-contact position sensing, data detection systems, machine automation, and optical encoding", Bennett continued.

The OPR2800 Series infra-red light emitting diode features an 880nm wavelength with a 100deg total beam angle.

Forward voltage is 1.5V maximum (If=50mA), with continuous forward current of 50mA; reverse voltage is 30V, with reverse current of 100mA (Vr=2.0V).

Power dissipation is 130mW at 25C.

Operating temperature range for the IR LED is -40C to +100C.

The device is available in both bulk and tape and reel packaging, and is RoHS compliant.

Typical pricing for Optek's OPR2800 infra-red LED is $0.90 each in quantities of 100K.

Lead time, if stock is not available, is from 4 to 6 weeks.
