Brighter and more efficient next generation IR thinfilm chip technology LEDs

29-04-2025 | Rutronik | Industrial

Rutronik offers the OSLON Black SFH 471XB IR LEDs from ams OSRAM with the latest IR:6 thinfilm chip technology. This advanced design redefines the possibilities of IR technology. The LEDs impress with improved optical power (940mW and 980mW) and up to 35% higher WPE (Wall Plug Efficiency) at a wavelength of 850nm. They come in clear silicone housings and are excellent for light therapy devices, security systems or industrial automation.

Thanks to their improved design, the IR LEDs of the OSLON Black SFH 471XB family provide excellent light output and reliability even under the most challenging conditions, setting new standards with integrated IR:6 technology. An improvement of up to 25% in brightness results in, for example, the same light output with fewer LEDs in light therapy devices, greatly decreasing the space needed.

Specifications for the devices:

OSLON Black SFH 4713B

Brightness: 980mW

80° beam angle

OSLON Black SFH 4714B

Brightness: 980mW

150° beam angle

OSLON Black SFH 47167B

Brightness: 940mW

110° x 130° rectangular FoI

Common benefits include housing made of clear silicone. It provides

ESD 2kV according to ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 (HBM, class 2). The high-efficiency IR light source has a wavelength of 850nm. A low thermal resistance of maximum 2.5K/W (SFH 4713B: 2.6 K/W) and an operating temperature range from -40C to +125C.

Application examples include Access control and security, Authentication, Eye tracking, face and hand tracking, factory automation, home and building automation, and medical devices.
