An Infrared emitter, or IR emitter, is a source of light energy in the infrared spectrum. This little part is a light emitting diode (LED) that is used in order to transmit infrared signals from a remote control. This simple device operates at 940nm and works well for generic IR systems. This emitter is driven up to 50mA with a current limiting resistor as with any LED device.
Features:
- Continuous Forward Current: 50mA
- Reverse Voltage: 5V
- Operating Temperature: -25~+85°C
- Wavelength: 940nm
- Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Typ): 1.2V
- Viewing Angle: 60°
- Orientation: Side View

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
