Frequently Asked Questions
What is the peak emission wavelength and output power of the VSMG2720-GS08?
The VSMG2720-GS08 emits infrared light at a 830 nm peak wavelength with a nominal output power of 45 mW. The maximum forward current is 100 mA, making it suitable for short-range sensing and optical encoder applications where a well-defined IR wavelength is critical.
Which proximity-sensing or encoder designs can use the VSMG2720-GS08 in an SMD LCC-2 footprint?
Optical rotary encoders, reflective proximity sensors, and PCB-mounted IR barriers can all use the VSMG2720-GS08. The LCC-2 SMD package measures in a compact 2-pin footprint compatible with standard reflow processes, and the 830 nm wavelength pairs well with silicon photodetectors that have peak sensitivity near 900 nm.
When is the VSMG2720-GS08 preferable to a standard 940 nm infrared LED for industrial sensing?
At 830 nm the VSMG2720-GS08 falls closer to the visible boundary, giving stronger response from silicon photodiodes whose spectral sensitivity peaks around 800-900 nm. This yields a higher signal-to-noise ratio compared with 940 nm emitters in short-distance (<50 mm) sensing applications. The high-reliability JESD-609 e3 rating adds further confidence in industrial environments requiring stable operation over thousands of hours.
