Overview

This 5mm IR LED is a high-efficiency infrared transmitter designed for wireless communication, remote controls, night vision systems, and proximity sensors. Emitting 940nm wavelength light (invisible to the human eye), it pairs perfectly with IR receivers (like TSOP1838) for reliable signal transmission.

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.
