850 nmInfrared LEDOSLON Black40 degrees1 AIndustrial automation

SFH4718A is a 850 nm, high-power infrared LED in the OSLON Black package, specified for up to 1 A forward current and a 40 degree full viewing angle.

Best for

  • 850 nm infrared illumination
  • Tracking and sensing systems
  • Access-control and identification equipment

Avoid if

  • A narrower or wider beam pattern is required
  • The thermal path cannot handle high-current LED operation
  • A verified lifecycle status is mandatory

Check before use

  • Confirm bin-specific radiant-intensity requirements
  • Apply current derating at elevated ambient temperature
  • Use the recommended land pattern and reflow process
