LED Infrared LED L8245 Peak emission wavelength: 1.65 m L8245 is a long-wavelength infrared LED using an InGaAs chip. The peak emission occurs at a wavelength near the methane gas absorption band, making L8245 ideal for a light source for methane gas detection. Features Applications l Peak emission wavelength: 1.65 m l High radiant output l Light source for methane gas detection Absolute maximum ratings (Ta=25 C, unless otherwise noted) Parameter Reverse voltage Forward current Forward current decrease rate Pulse forward current Pulse forward current decrease rate Power dissipation Operating temperature Storage temperature Symbol VR Max.
