Overview

The WP710A10SF4BT-P22 is a high-intensity infrared emitting diode housed in a standard T-1 (3mm) package. It operates at a peak wavelength of 880nm with a narrow 30-degree viewing angle, making it ideal for focused IR applications. This emitter is mechanically and spectrally matched to the WP3DP3BT phototransistor for reliable optical sensing pairs.

Why Choose This Part

This emitter offers a low forward voltage of 1.3V and a high radiant intensity of 7mW/sr at 20mA, ensuring power-efficient operation. The blue transparent lens and halogen-free construction meet modern environmental standards while maintaining high spectral purity for sensitive detection circuits.

Getting Started

To integrate this IR LED, calculate the current-limiting resistor based on the 1.3V typical forward voltage and your supply rail, keeping continuous current below 50mA. For best results in sensing applications, align the T-1 package directly with its matched WP3DP3BT phototransistor to maximize signal-to-noise ratio within the 30-degree viewing cone.
