Overview

The SFH 4716AS A01 is a high-power 860nm infrared emitter from the OSLON Black Series, specifically designed for high-current pulse operations. This AEC-Q102 qualified component utilizes a double-stack emitter technology to achieve a high radiant intensity of 180mW/sr at 1A within a wide 150-degree viewing angle. It is engineered for demanding automotive and industrial environments requiring efficient IR illumination in a compact surface-mount package.

Why Choose This Part

The component features a low thermal resistance of 6.6 K/W, enabling stable performance at high drive currents up to 1.5A. Its AEC-Q102 qualification ensures reliability in automotive temperature ranges from -40C to 125C, while the double-stack chip technology maximizes radiant flux from a small 3.75mm footprint.

Applications

Driver Monitoring Systems
Provides wide-angle IR illumination for interior vehicle cameras to track driver fatigue and attention.
Gesture Recognition
Serves as the light source for time-of-flight or structured light sensors in touchless control interfaces.
CCTV and Surveillance
Offers high-efficiency infrared light for night vision capabilities in compact security camera modules.
Eye Tracking
Utilized in biometric and automotive safety systems to monitor gaze direction and pupil dilation.

Getting Started

When integrating this emitter, ensure the PCB design accounts for the 1.5A maximum forward current by providing adequate thermal vias to the internal copper planes. Use a constant-current LED driver capable of handling a 2.95V nominal forward voltage and implement PWM for dimming or pulsed operation to manage thermal dissipation. Refer to the OSLON Black Series soldering guidelines for optimized reflow profiles on the 3-SMD package.
