Description
The OPF371 series LED consists of a
low cost plastic cap LED, pre-mounted
and aligned in an SMA receptacle. This
configuration is designed for PC board
or panel mounting. Includes lock washer
and jam nut, two 2-56 screws, and a dust
cap.
The LED’ are designed to interface with
s
mulitmode optical fibers from 50/125 to
200/300 microns.
