The Sharlight SLE 35358CPC x3W aq is a 3W high-power infrared LED emitter with a peak wavelength of approximately 850 nm, designed for use in IR lighting and detection applications.
The “x” in the model designation refers to the beam angle, which is available in 30°, 60°, and 90°, and thus determines the beam pattern.
- The 30° version concentrates the emitted power and is suitable for applications where range and directional sensitivity are important, such as targeted detection.
- The 60° version strikes a balance between intensity and spread.
- The 90° version provides wide, uniform illumination for shorter distances, such as when used with IR cameras.
The ceramic housing has a thermal resistance of approximately 18 °C/W, which contributes to effective heat dissipation and stable performance at higher power levels.
From an electrical standpoint, the variants are identical, with a maximum forward current of 1000 mA (1200 mA pulse current) and a forward voltage of 1.3 to 2.0 V. Depending on the beam angle, the radiant flux ranges from 700 to 800 mW.
With ESD resistance up to 8 kV, the component is suitable for use in industrial environments.
