GaAs Infrared Emitting Diode
SEP8506
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
Side-emitting plastic package
•
50¡ (nominal) beam angle
•
935 nm wavelength
•
Mechanically and spectrally matched to
SDP8406 phototransistor, SDP8106
photodarlington and SDP8000/8600 series
Schmitt trigger
•
The SEP8506 is a gallium arsenide infrared emitting
diode molded in a side-emitting red plastic package.
The chip is positioned to emit radiation through a plastic
lens from the side of the package.
