plouf Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Helloi have bought some generic IR LED for illumination, i forgot to ask of the exact code to check theri datasheet,and wondering whats the general max power they work. i found datasheet from 50 - to hundreds of mA, and i am confused !i.e. LED are 20-25mA in general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Without a part number or datasheet there's no way of knowing.Generally infra red LEDs have a higher current rating than visible LEDs because their forward voltage is lower (1.1V to 2.5V, as opposed to 1.8V to 4.5V) and the maximum rated power dissipation is similar.
