VSMA Series High-Power IR Emitters
Vishay’s IR emitters deliver 30% higher radiant intensity in a 20% smaller footprint
Vishay's optoelectronics portfolio now includes six 850 nm and 940 nm high-power infrared (IR) emitters that deliver best-in-class radiant intensity in 3.4 mm by 3.4 mm surface-mount packages. Built on Vishay’s SurfLight™ surface emitter chip technology, these devices are designed for high drive currents up to 1.5 ADC and 5 A pulsed in industrial and consumer applications.
The sensors provide 30% higher radiant intensity than previous-generation solutions and 10% higher than the closest competing device. These values enable greater illumination distance while minimizing the number of components required to lower costs and save space.
For further space savings, the emitters occupy a 20% smaller footprint than competing devices and previous-generation solutions.
