Overview

The SFH 47167B is a high-power infrared (IR) OSLON Black emitter with a centroid wavelength of 850nm, designed for high-efficiency illumination tasks. It features a low thermal resistance of 3.6 K/W and is capable of handling a forward current up to 1A, making it suitable for compact, high-output sensing applications.

Why Choose This Part

This emitter offers exceptional thermal management with a max thermal resistance of 3.6 K/W, allowing for sustained 1A operation in small 1515 packages. Its 68-degree viewing angle provides a concentrated beam for improved range, while the 2kV ESD rating ensures robustness in assembly and field use.
