DESCRIPTION

The SE3470/5470 series consists of aluminum gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode mounted in a TO-46 metal can package. The SE3470 series has flat window cans providing a wide beam angle, while the SE5470 series has glass lensed cans providing a narrow beam angle. These devices typically exhibit 70 greater power output than gallium arsenide devices at the same forward current. The TO-46 packages offer high power dissipation capability and are ideally suited for operation in hostile environments.
