SLED-56HL2
GaAlAs Infrared Emitting Diode
Features
High output at low current
Narrow emission angle
Multiple power ranges
TO-46 package
Description
The Silonex SLED-56HL2 is a high output Gallium
Aluminum Arsenide infrared emitting diode which
produces a peak radiation at 880 nm when forward
biased. It is contained in a high dome lens, TO-46
hermetic package.
