❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specific wavelengths of the Red and IR emitters?
A: The Red emitter typically peaks at 660nm, and the Infrared emitter peaks at 870nm (Typical values). These specific wavelengths are standard for absorption-based hemoglobin detection in pulse oximetry.
Q: Can this LED be used for continuous wave (CW) transmission?
A: Yes, but the DC forward current is limited to 50mA. For most SpO2 applications, pulsed operation (e.g., 200mA pulses) is preferred to achieve higher optical power without overheating the component.
Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for this component?
A: The XL-S2008RHIRC is classified as MSL 3. This means it can be exposed to the factory floor environment (≤30°C / 60% RH) for up to 168 hours before baking or reflow soldering is required.
Q: What are the critical soldering limits to prevent damage?
A: The maximum soldering temperature is 260°C for ≤6 seconds. For reflow profiles, ensure the board does not exceed this limit to prevent delamination or optical degradation.
Q: How does the viewing angle affect my sensor design?
A: The Half Viewing Angle is ±60°. This wide angle is suitable for reflective PPG designs where the sensor is placed adjacent to the LED, though light baffles may be required to reduce crosstalk.
Q: Is this component ROHS compliant?
A: Yes, the datasheet explicitly states this is an environmental protection product meeting ROHS requirements, suitable for global markets including the EU.
