Did you really mean 160-1145-ND? That is a yellow LED according to the
Digikey search engine.  I have used the Jameco PN 131908  from Jameco (an
Everlight module). It works the same as the Sharp but the case doesn't need
to be grounded.

If you would like to read about some of my experiments with the modules
(both Sharp and Everlight) check out http://204.233.101.40/robots/ir.html
