Description

IR LED Transmitter 5mm

Key Features:

✔ 940nm Wavelength – Optimal for most IR receivers (low interference with visible light).
✔ High Radiant Intensity – 20mW/sr @ 100mA for long-range transmission.
✔ 5mm Clear Epoxy Lens – Wide ±20° beam angle for broad coverage.
✔ Low Forward Voltage (1.2V–1.5V) – Works with 3.3V/5V circuits (requires current-limiting resistor).
✔ Axial Lead Design – Easy breadboard or PCB soldering.

Applications:

• Remote Controls – TV, AC, DIY Arduino IR transmitters.

• Obstacle Detection – IR proximity sensors for robots.

• Night Vision Illumination – Covert lighting for cameras.

• Security Systems – Beam-break alarms.

Technical Specifications:

• Forward Current: 100mA (max) – 20mA recommended for most projects.

• Peak Wavelength: 940nm (invisible, no red glow).

• Viewing Angle: ±20° (narrow beam for directed signals).

• Reverse Voltage: 5V (max).

• Operating Temperature: -25°C to +85°C.

Package Includes:

• 1x 5mm IR LED (940nm) – Specify quantity if needed.
