Infrared Source IR-30

The IR-30 is a coil-wound, supported IR Source, mounted on a TO-5 header. At steady state, the coiled filament operates at approximately 950 degrees C when powered with 4.2 watts (2.5 volts, 1.7 amps). Expected life at this power level is 25,000 hours. This IR Source can be pulsed up to 1 hertz with a greater power input. For example, when operated at 1 hertz, 50% duty cycle with 3.5 volts and 7.1 watts, the output is a well defined saw tooth with approximately 32% modulation depth. This product could also be coupled with a Parabolic or Elliptical Reflector in order to collimate or focus the energy.
