Description:

Each OP245PS device is an infrared emitting diode with a 850 nm GaAIAs chip, molded in a clear IR-transmissive side-looking epoxy package. This package makes these devices ideal for PCBoard mounted slotted switches and for mounted interrupt detectors.

The stable forward VF vs TA characteristic make them suitable for applications that have limited voltage, such as battery operation; whereas, the low TR/TF makes them ideal for high-speed operations.

Features:

• Point source irradiance pattern

• Side-looking package for space-limited applications

• Wavelength matched to silicon’s peak response

• Higher power output than GaAs at equivalent drive currents

• Fast switching speed

Applications:

• Space-limited applications

• PCBoard mounted slotted switch

• Mounted interrupt detector

• High-speed applications
