Description:
Each device in this series is a high intensity gallium aluminum arsenide infrared emitting diode that is suited for use as a PCBoard mounted slotted switch or an easy mount PCBoard interrupter. Each dome lens OP240 and OP245 device is an 890 nm diode that is molded in an IR-transmissive clear epoxy side-looking package. OP240 is mechanically and spectrally matched to the OP550 and OP560 series of phototransistors. OP245 is mechanically and spectrally matched to the OP555 and OP565 series devices.
Features:
Wide irradiance pattern
Side-looking package for space-limited applications
Wavelength matched to silicon’s peak response
Mechanically and spectrally matched to other OPTEK products
Applications:
Space-limited applications
PCBoard mounted slotted switch
PCBoard interrupter
