Super-bright 5mm IR LED 940nm

Description

Description Show Reviews Adafruit 387 – Super-bright 5mm IR LED – 940nm Infrared LEDs are used for remote controls (theyre the little LED in the part you point at your TV) and night-vision cameras, and these little blue guys are high-powered ones! They are 940nm wavelength, which is what nearly all devices listen to. Theyre 20-degree beamwidth, and work great for any kind of remote control application. Adafruit used one of these to make a camera control footswitch/intervalometer.These are the same LEDs used in their super TV-B-Gone kit. You can drive them continuously (for night vision illumination) with 100mA, and for IR remote application, they can take up to 1 Amp pulses (!). If you want to make a sender/receiver pair,youll want to get an IR remote receiver sensor as well. Adafruit has a tutorial that covers everything youll need to know about IR remote control sensing as well as how to clone a remote control in both Arduino & CircuitPython Technical Details 5mm LED 940nm wavelength (most common) 20-degree beam width 100 mA continuous, 1000 mA pulse Approx 1.6V forward voltage ( check datasheet for range ) 0 Reviews Hide Reviews Show Reviews
