Compact infrared LEDs deliver more than 1W of optical power

Available now from Mouser, Osram SFH471xAS IR OSLON Black Series LEDs are small infrared LEDs offering more than 1W of optical power. The IR OSLON Black come in a small package with an integrated lens that allows superior compact arrangements of very high power density. They are seen as ideal for applications like CCTV, machine vision, gesture recognition or infrared illumination for cameras. The device use double-stack emitters and have a low thermal resistance of 9kw max. They have a centroid wavelength of 850nm and a typical optical power that reaches 1270mW and 300mW/sr at 1A. They feature adapted out-coupling lenses of +/-45 degrees or +/-75 degrees with half angle emissions and deliver 15 percent more output power than components without a lens. A 50,000-hour LED lifetime is easily obtainable, even at high drive currents, says the company.
