MTE8560P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MTE8560P is an infrared (IR) emitter operating at 850nm wavelength, designed for through-hole mounting in TO-18-2 metal can packaging. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The MTE8560P delivers 100mA forward current with a 1.5V typical forward voltage and 6° viewing angle, suitable for IR transmission applications requiring narrow beam angles and reliable performance across industrial temperature ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MTE8560P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Wavelength: 850nm (exact match required)
• Current rating: 100mA maximum forward current
• Voltage characteristics: 1.5V typical forward voltage
• Viewing angle: 6° (narrow beam specification)
• Package type: TO-18-2 metal can
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole
• Operating temperature range: -20°C to 85°C minimum

The MTE8560P-C qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: MTE8560P is obsolete while MTE8560P-C is active, with improved availability and RoHS compliance certification.
