CFE370 Series

Fiber Optic AlGaAs IREDs

Technologies, Inc.

April, 2004

features

• High power output

• High speed

• Optimized for fiber-optic

applications

• TO-18 header with plastic lens

• RoHS compliant

description

The CFE370 series contain 850nm

AlGaAs IREDs mounted on TO-18

headers. The devices are designed

to self-align in the 0.228” (5.79mm)

bore of a standard fiber-optic

receptacle. Three crush ribs on the

outside of the case provide press-fit

installation and precise alignment.
