An Infrared emitter, or IR emitter, is a source of light energy in the infrared spectrum. This little part is a light emitting diode (LED) that is used in order to transmit infrared signals from a remote control. This simple device operates at 940nm and works well for generic IR systems. This emitter is driven up to 50mA with a current limiting resistor as with any LED device.
