LED Infrared LED L9437 LED emitting collimated light for optical encoder L9437 is an infrared LED developed for optical encoders. By improving the aspherical lens used with the previous type L8506, we have achieved an even more highly collimated beam of near infrared light. The lead pin of L9437 has no step piece that is usually formed at the lead base brazed to the package, thus eliminating the restriction in printed circuit board design. Features Applications l Collimated light beam l Uniform light spot l Narrow directivity: ±5˚ l High-speed response: 40 MHz Typ. l High reliability l Optical encoder ■ Absolute maximum ratings (Ta=25 °C, unless otherwise noted) Parameter Reverse voltage Forward current Forward current reduction rate Pulse forward current P ulse forw ard current reduction ra te Power dissipation Operating temperature Storage temperature Symbol VR IF IFP Condition Pulse width=10 µs Duty ratio=1 % P Topr Tstg Value 5 80 0.67 Unit V mA mA/°C 0.5 A 4.2 150 -30 to +85 -40 to +100 mA/°C mW °C °C ■ Electrical and optical characteristics (Ta=25 °C) Parameter Symbol Condition Min.
