DESCRIPTION
Flat Top Package The HSDL-4400 Series of flat top IR emitters uses an untinted, nondiffused, truncated lens to provide a wide radiation pattern that is useful for short distance communication where alignment of the emitter and detector is not critical. The HSDL-5400 Series of flat top IR detectors uses the same truncated lens design as the HSDL-4400 Series of IR emitters with the added feature of a black tint that acts as an optical filter to reduce the effects of ambient light, such as sun, incandescent and fluorescent light from interfering with the IR signal. Dome Package The HSDL-4420 Series of dome IR emitters uses an untinted, nondiffused lens to provide a 24 degree viewing angle with high on-axis intensity. Lead Configuration All of these devices are made by encapsulating LED and PIN photodiode chips on axial lead frames to form molded epoxy subminiature packages. A variety of lead configurations is available and includes: surface mount gull wing, yoke lead, or Z-bend and through hole lead bends at 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) center spacing.
