The 62017 GaAs LIGHT EMITTING DIODE 'PIGTAIL' (TYPE GS3040) is a light emitting diode produced by MICROPAC INDUSTRIES, INC. The features of the product include high reliability, high output, miniaturization, and can be mounted on a printed circuit board. Application areas include incremental encoding, reflective sensors, position sensors, and level sensors.
The Micropac Industries 62017 is a P-N GaAs Infrared Light Emitting Diode in a lensed coaxial package designed for mounting on single-clad printed circuit boards. It is spectrally matched to companion phototransistors and photodarlingtons, making it ideal for use in optical encoders, card reader arrays, reflective sensors, position sensors, level sensors, and incremental encoding applications.
The device is available with various output power levels (binned) and can be screened to MIL-PRF-19500 specifications. It features a narrow beam angle lens and small size, with an optional lead attached to the case for connection without a printed board.
