Additional Details
The IR333C/H2/TR1/7(R) typically operates with a forward voltage of around 1.2 to 1.5V and a forward current of 50 to 100mA. The radiant intensity is a key parameter, typically measured in mW/sr (milliwatts per steradian). The viewing angle is also important, as it determines the spread of the infrared beam. The operating temperature range is typically from -25°C to +85°C. This diode is often paired with an infrared phototransistor or photodiode to create a complete infrared sensing or communication system.
