IF-E96: Plastic Fiber Optic Red LED

Description

The IF-E93 is a high-output, high-speed, visible red LED housed in a "connector-less" style plastic fiber optic package. The output spectrum is produced by a GaA1As die which peaks at 660 nm, one of the optimal transmission windows of PMMA plastic optical fiber. The device package features an internal micro-lens and a precision-molded PBT housing to maximize optical coupling into standard 1000 µm core plastic fiber cable.

Application Highlights

The performance/price ratio of the IF-E96 is particularly attractive for high volume design applications. The visible red output has low attenuation in PMMA palstic fiber and aids in troubleshooting installations. When used with an IF-D96 photologic detector the IF-E96 can achieve data rates of 5 Mbps. Fast transition times and low attenuation make the IF-E96 an excellent device selection for low-cost analog and digital data links up to 75 meters.
