features
wide emission angle
TO-46 hermetically sealed package
excellent heat dissipation
high power output
description
The CLE230W series are AlGaAs
infrared emitting diodes mounted in
flat window TO-46 hermetic
packages. The wide emission angle
provides even illumination over a
large area. The series are spectrally
and mechanically matched to the
CLT130W phototransistor series. For
additional information, call Clairex.

e
is a measure of irradiance (power/unit area) within a .25" (6.35mm) diameter area, centered on the
mechanical axis of the device and spaced .466" (11.8mm) from the lens side of the tab. This is
geometrically equivalent to a 30 cone.
