CLE230W, CLE231W, CLE232W

High Power Aluminum Gallium Arsenide IREDs

July, 2001

ALL DIMENSIONS ARE IN INCHES (MILLIMETERS)

features

• wide emission angle

• TO-46 hermetically sealed package

• excellent heat dissipation

• high power output

description

The CLE230W series are AlGaAs

infrared emitting diodes mounted in

flat window TO-46 hermetic

packages. The wide emission angle

provides even illumination over a

large area. The series are spectrally

and mechanically matched to the

CLT130W phototransistor series. For

additional information, call Clairex.
