SEP8705-3

The SEP8705-3 is an aluminium gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode transfer moulded in a smoke grey plastic package. Transfer moulding of this device assures superior optical centreline performance compared to other moulding processes. This device typically exhibit 70% greater power intensity compared to GaAs devices at the same forward current. Lead lengths are staggered to provide a simple method of polarity identification. It is mechanically and spectrally matched to SDP8405 phototransistor and SDP8105 photo Darlington. It is suitable for use in pulsed applications (IR remote control) or where AC coupling of the receiver is necessary to obtain increased distance or to reduce effects of ambient visible or infrared radiation.

• Consistent optical properties
• Higher output than GaAs at equivalent drive current
