TSAL4400
Vishay Semiconductors
High Power Infrared Emitting Diode, 950 nm, GaAlAs/GaAs
Description
TSAL4400 is a high efficiency infrared emitting diode
in GaAlAs on GaAs technology, molded in clear, bluegrey tinted plastic packages.
In comparison with the standard GaAs on GaAs technology these emitters achieve about 100 % radiant
power improvement at a similar wavelength.
The forward voltages at low current and at high pulse
current roughly correspond to the low values of the
standard technology. Therefore these emitters are
ideally suitable as high performance replacements of
standard emitters.
