SE3470 Series AlGaAs Infrared Emitting Diode, TO-46 Metal Can. The SE3470/5470 series consists of aluminum gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode mounted in a TO-46 metal can package. The SE3470 series has flat window cans providing a wide beam angle, while the SE5470 series has glass lensed cans providing a narrow beam angle. These devices typically exhibit 70% greater power output than gallium arsenide devices at the same forward current. The TO-46 packages offer high power dissipation capability and are ideally suited for operation in hostile environments.
Higher output power than GaAs at equivalent drive currents
Wide operating temperature range [-55 °C to 125 °C]
Ideal for high pulsed current applications
Mechanically and spectrally matched to SD3421/5421 photodiode, SD3443/5443/5491 phototransistor, SD3410/5410 photodarlington and SD5600 series Schmitt trigger
