IR LED transmitter

The IR LED Transmitter is an infrared light-emitting diode designed for wireless data transmission. It emits infrared light that is invisible to the human eye but can be detected by IR receivers, making it ideal for remote controls, data communication, and other applications requiring wireless infrared transmission. It is commonly used in consumer electronics, automation systems, and DIY projects.

Key Features:

• Emits infrared light at a specific wavelength (typically 940nm)
• Suitable for wireless data transmission and remote control applications
• High output power for long-range transmission
• Low forward voltage and current requirements
• Compact and durable design
• Easy to integrate with microcontrollers and development boards

Technical Specifications:

• Wavelength: 940nm (typical)
• Forward Voltage: 1.2V to 1.5V (typical)
• Forward Current: 20mA (typical)
• Radiant Intensity: 20mW/sr (typical, varies by model)
• Viewing Angle: 20° to 30° (varies by model)
• Package Type: Through-hole or surface mount
• Dimensions: Varies by manufacturer (common size: 5mm diameter)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C

Applications:

• Remote controls for TVs, audio equipment, and other consumer electronics
• Wireless data communication
• Infrared signaling and sensing
• Automation systems
• DIY electronics projects
• Robotics

Usage:

1. Connect the IR LED Transmitter to a microcontroller or driver circuit.
2. Power the LED with the appropriate voltage and current (typically 1.2V to 1.5V, 20mA).
3. Modulate the LED with the desired data signal for transmission.
4. Ensure the IR LED is aimed at the IR receiver to establish a communication link.

Caution:

• Ensure correct polarity when connecting the IR LED to avoid damage.
• Do not exceed the maximum rated current to prevent overheating.
• Handle the IR LED with care to avoid physical damage.
• Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for installation and operation.
