The Honeywell SE5470-002 is an aluminum gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode designed for a variety of applications requiring efficient infrared emission. Packaged in a TO-46 metal can, it provides a narrow beam angle and exhibits 70% greater power output than gallium arsenide devices at equivalent drive currents. Its wide operating temperature range and high power dissipation capability make it suitable for use in demanding environments. The SE5470-002 is often paired with Honeywell's SD3421/5421 photodiode, SD3443/5443/5491 phototransistor, SD3410/5410 photodarlington, and SD5600 series Schmitt trigger for complete infrared system solutions.
