New GaAlAs and GaAlAs/GaAlAs Discrete Infrared LEDs
Meet Rising Demand for Infrared Technology in Wireless Applications and
Intelligent Imaging Systems
 TORRANCE,
CA — December 6, 2002 — LEDtronics® announces its newest
line of Infrared Discrete LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) that fulfill the
demand for high-powered, high-speed emitters in wireless connectivity,
imaging systems and analysis equipment. These LEDs use advanced semi-conductor
compounds to produce infrared emissions in the wavelengths of 850nm,
880nm and 940nm. Sizes available are T1 (3mm), T1-3/4 (5mm) and SMT (3.4mm
x 8mm). T1 (3mm) and T13/4 (5mm) LEDs come with strong leads that hold
up to the stress of wire-wrap and through-hole applications. The SMT
model is packaged in a plastic housing that allows infrared functionality
to be incorporated into miniature-sized electronic devices. The T1 model
has an 18°-angle of emission. T1-3/4 infrared LEDs are available
in two emission angles: (1) 40° medium and (2) 20° standard.
The SMT model has an emission angle of 120°. IR LEDs extend the functionality
of unmanned transportation systems, further interactive communication
between remote devices, and strengthen the impervious nature of fiber
optic systems.
Infrared LEDs are ideal light sources for use with night vision goggles,
surveillance cameras, medical imaging, recognition and calibration systems.
Due to their resistance to ambient-light impediments and electromagnetic
interference (EMI), Infrared LEDs enhance the performance of wireless
computer-to-PDA links, collision avoidance systems, automation equipment,
biomedical instrumentation, telecommunications equipment. Solid-state
design renders Infrared LEDs impervious to electrical and mechanical
shock, vibration, frequent switching and environmental extremes. With
an average life span of 100,000-plus hours (11 years), Infrared LEDs
operate reliably year-after-year.
Founded in 1983, LEDtronics® leads where others only follow when
it comes to designing, manufacturing and packaging state-of-the-art LEDs
to meet the world’s constantly changing lighting needs. Our inventive
product line encompasses an array of direct incandescent lamp replacement
Based LED Lamps, low-cost snap-in and relampable Panel Mount LED Lamps,
high intensity sunlight-visible Discrete LEDs, PCB LEDs circuit board
status indicators, surface mount diodes SMT LEDs, full-spectrum rainbow
RGB LEDs and Infra-Red (IR) LEDs.
Prices for Infrared Discrete LEDs range from $0.26 - $1.87 each in quantity
of 1,000 depending on the technology. Availability is stock to 4 - 6 weeks
for special requirements. For qualified customers, samples are available
to meet your design requirements. For additional information on how to
