Electrical characteristics are specified at 600mA and Ta=25°C. The luminous flux table specifies the KEM-HP003IR-970 at 960–970nm with CRI 80; the original source does not provide a numerical flux value, so no additional flux figure is added.
Applications for 970nm IR LED
A970nm IR LED is suitable for equipment that requires a near-infrared light source rather than visible illumination. This 3W high power IR LED can be considered for industrial sensing, optical instruments, imaging equipment, infrared detection systems, and other applications where wavelength and electrical parameters need to be controlled.
For equipment manufacturers and system integrators, the key selection factors include wavelength, forward current, forward voltage, optical output, thermal conditions, and package configuration. HOUKEM can also provide engineering support when a standard product does not fully match the project requirements.
