VTE1291-2H - IRED, T-1¾ (5mm) Plastic Package, 25mW, Beam angle of ±12°
The VTE1291-2H is a GaAlAs Infrared Emitting Diode (IRED) mounted in a T 1¾ (5mm diameter) lensed plastic package with a narrow beam angle. This 880 nm GaAlAs IRED has a narrow emission beam profile, a characteristic making it suitable for smoke detection, IR illumination and optical switching applications.
The VTE1291-2H can be operated in DC mode or in pulsed mode. Pulsed mode is used when a higher optical output power is required for certain applications.
Features and benefits:
- Narrow optical emission bandwidth
- Approved for smoke detection applications under UL file S3506
- RoHS compliant
Applications:
- Smoke detection
- IR illumination
- Optical switching
- Consumer coin readers
- Lottery card readers
- Position sensors
- Encoders
- Printers and copiers
