TSAL5100 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Vishay TSAL5100 is a GaAs/GaAlAs infrared emitting diode housed in a standard T-1¾ (5 mm) radial package. It offers high radiant power and intensity, making it suitable for demanding applications like remote controls, free-air transmission systems, and optical counters.

 

This diode operates with a typical forward voltage of 1.6V at 100mA and has a peak wavelength of 940nm, providing good spectral matching with silicon photodetectors. The angle of half intensity is ±10°, ensuring a focused beam. The TSAL5100 is designed for high pulse current operation and features a low forward voltage, making it an efficient replacement for standard emitters.

 

With a through-hole mounting type, the TSAL5100 is suitable for various PCB assembly processes. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +100°C and has a maximum power dissipation of 210mW. The device is RoHS3 compliant and has an MSL 1 rating.
