GaAs Infrared Emitting Diode in Side View Package

Description

CQX48 is a standard GaAs infrared emitting diode in

a flat sideview plastic package.

A small recessed spherical lens provides an improved

radiant intensity in a low profile case.

The diode is case compatible to the BPW78 photo-

transistor, allowing the user to assemble his own

optical interrupters.
