Vishay High Power Infrared Emitting Diode Surface Mount 950 nm Peak Wavelength VSMA1094400

The Vishay VSMA1094400 high power infrared emitting diode is designed for industrial and commercial electronics requiring reliable and powerful IR light sources. Operating at a peak wavelength of 950 nm, this diode utilizes a 42 mil double stack emitter chip optimized for surface mount applications. Thanks to its robust chip design, it supports continuous DC currents of up to 1.5 A and pulsed currents as high as 5.0 A, delivering exceptional radiant power output.

Its compact size of 3.4 mm length, 3.4 mm width, and 2.45 mm height makes it suitable for densely packed PCBs in sectors including industrial automation, sensing, and communication. The device's radiant flux is rated at 2100 mW with an intensity of 1225 mW per steradian, providing a strong infrared emission ideal for remote control systems, proximity sensors, and data transmission applications.

The diode’s angle of half intensity of ±40° allows for a focused beam with effective coverage area, and it offers low thermal resistance between 6 K/W and 9 K/W ensuring efficient heat management during operation. Built-in electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection up to 5 kV adheres to ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 standards, enhancing its durability in demanding environments.

Rated for a maximum supply voltage of 5 V, the component is compliant with lead-free soldering processes and packaged in tape and reel for ease of automated manufacturing. Further reliability is provided by a floor life of 168 hours under Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (MSL 3), based on J-STD-020 standards.
