GaAs Infrared Emitting Diode
SE3455/5455
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
TO-46 metal can package
Choice of flat window or lensed package
90¡ or 20¡ (nominal) beam angle option
935 nm wavelength
Wide operating temperature range
(-55¡C to +125¡C)
Ideal for high pulsed current applications
Mechanically and spectrally matched to
SD3421/5421 photodiode,
SD3443/5443/5491phototransistor,
SD3410/5410 photodarlington and SD5600
series Schmitt trigger
The SE3455/5455 series consists of a gallium arsenide
infrared emitting diode mounted in a TO-46 metal can
package. The SE3455 series has flat window cans
providing a wide beam angle, while the SE5455 series
has glass lensed cans providing a narrow beam angle.
These devices are constructed with dual bond wires
suitable for pulsed current applications. The TO-46
packages offer high power dissipation capability and are
ideally suited for operation in hostile environments.
