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.
Please refer to Application Bulletins 208 and 210 for additional design information and reliability (degradation) data.
