The SHARP GL9R04 is a GaAs Infrared Emitting Diode (IRED) designed for high-efficiency infrared light emission. Below are its key specifications, descriptions, and features:

Specifications:

• Wavelength (Peak): 940 nm
• Forward Voltage (VF): 1.35 V (Typical) at 50 mA
• Forward Current (IF): 50 mA (Continuous)
• Radiant Intensity (Ie): 35 mW/sr (Minimum) at 50 mA
• Viewing Angle (2θ½): ±20°
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C to +85°C
• Storage Temperature Range: -40°C to +100°C
• Package Type: 3 mm Round Lens (T-1)

Descriptions:

• The GL9R04 is an infrared LED optimized for remote control systems, optical sensors, and communication devices.
• It emits invisible infrared light at 940 nm, making it suitable for applications requiring non-visible illumination.
• The 3 mm round lens ensures a narrow viewing angle (±20°), providing focused and directional light output.

Features:

• High Radiant Intensity (35 mW/sr min.) for strong IR emission.
• Low Forward Voltage (1.35 V) for energy-efficient operation.
• Reliable GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) Chip ensures stable performance.
• Compact T-1 Package for easy integration into PCB designs.
• RoHS Compliant (Lead-free and environmentally friendly).

This component is commonly used in TV remotes, security systems, and industrial automation where precise IR signaling is required.
