TORRANCE, CA — December 6, 2002 — LEDtronics® announces its newest
line of Infrared Discrete LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) that fulfill the demand
for high-powered, high-speed emitters in wireless connectivity, imaging systems
and analysis equipment. These LEDs use advanced semi-conductor compounds to produce
infrared emissions in the wavelengths of 850nm, 880nm and 940nm. Sizes available
are T1 (3mm), T1-3/4 (5mm) and SMT (3.4mm x 8mm). T1 (3mm) and T13/4 (5mm) LEDs
come with strong leads that hold up to the stress of wire-wrap and through-hole
applications. The SMT model is packaged in a plastic housing that allows infrared
functionality to be incorporated into miniature-sized electronic devices. The
T1 model has an 18°-angle of emission. T1-3/4 infrared LEDs are available
in two emission angles: (1) 40° medium and (2) 20° standard. The SMT model
has an emission angle of 120°. IR LEDs extend the functionality of unmanned
transportation systems, further interactive communication between remote devices,
and strengthen the impervious nature of fiber optic systems.
Infrared LEDs are ideal light sources for use with night vision goggles, surveillance
cameras, medical imaging, recognition and calibration systems. Due to their
resistance to ambient-light impediments and electromagnetic interference (EMI),
Infrared LEDs enhance the performance of wireless computer-to-PDA links, collision
avoidance systems, automation equipment, biomedical instrumentation, telecommunications
equipment. Solid-state design renders Infrared LEDs impervious to electrical
and mechanical shock, vibration, frequent switching and environmental extremes.
With an average life span of 100,000-plus hours (11 years), Infrared LEDs operate
reliably year-after-year.
Founded in 1983, LEDtronics® leads where others only follow when it comes
to designing, manufacturing and packaging state-of-the-art LEDs to meet the
world’s constantly changing lighting needs. Our inventive product line
encompasses an array of direct incandescent lamp replacement Based LED Lamps,
low-cost snap-in and relampable Panel Mount LED Lamps, high intensity sunlight-visible
Discrete LEDs, PCB LEDs circuit board status indicators, surface mount diodes
SMT LEDs, full-spectrum rainbow RGB LEDs and Infra-Red (IR) LEDs.
Prices for Infrared Discrete LEDs range from $0.26 - $1.87 each in quantity
of 1,000 depending on the technology. Availability is stock to 4 - 6 weeks for
special requirements. For qualified customers, samples are available to meet
your design requirements. For additional information on how to incorporate Infrared
