FPE500 FPE510
General Description The FPE5OO/FPE510 are GaAs infrared-emitting diodes. When forward-biased, they emit an intense, narrow band of radiation peaking at approximately 900 nm (non-visible). The devices are packaged in TO-18 style hermetically-sealed packages with a glass lens.
These solid-state lamps are ideally suited for use in conjunction with silicon photosensors, since their spectral peaks are closely matched. The FPE5001 FPE510 use a Planar process and are especially designed for high reliability and long life.
