description
The CLE230W series are AlGaAs
infrared emitting diodes mounted in
flat window TO-46 hermetic
notes:
1. 0.06” (1.5mm) from the header for 5 seconds maximum. Maximum
temperature can be 260°C if wave soldering.
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.

note: 4. Ee is a measure of irradiance (power/unit area) within a .25” (6.35mm) diameter area, centered on the
mechanical axis of the device and spaced .466” (11.8mm) from the lens side of the tab. This is
geometrically equivalent to a 30° cone.
5. Measurement taken at trailing edge of 100µs pulse with a duty cycle of 0.1%.
