TSAL6100.pdf

The TSAL6100 is a high power infrared emitting diode with a peak wavelength of 940 nm, made using GaAlAs multi quantum well technology. It has a high radiant power and intensity, and is suitable for high pulse current operation. The diode is packaged in a blue-gray plastic T-1¾ package and has a low forward voltage. Its applications include infrared remote control units, free air transmission systems, optical counters, card readers, and smoke detectors. The diode has a maximum forward current of 100 mA, a peak forward current of 200 mA, and a surge forward current of 1.5 A. Its operating temperature range is -40 to +85 °C, and its storage temperature range is -40 to +100 °C. The diode's radiant intensity is typically 170 mW/sr at 100 mA, and its angle of half intensity is ±10°.
