GaAs Infrared Emitting Diode
SEP8505
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
T-1 package
15¡ (nominal) beam angle
935 nm wavelength
Consistent on-axis optical properties
Mechanically and spectrally matched to
SDP8405 phototransistor and SDP8105
photodarlington
The SEP8505 is a gallium arsenide infrared emitting
diode transfer molded in a T-1 red plastic package.
Transfer molding of this device assures superior optical
centerline performance compared to other molding
processes. Lead lengths are staggered to provide a
simple method of polarity identification.
