Description:

Each device in this series, is a gallium aluminum arsenide infrared Light Emitting Diode (LED) that is molded in an IRtransmissive package with a wavelength centered at 890 nm, which closely matches the spectral response of silicon phototransistors, except for OP298 (AA, AB, AC, AD), which has either an 850 nm or 875 nm center wavelength. For identification purposes, each LED anode lead is longer than the cathode lead. Package T-1¾ devices include: OP290, OP291, OP292, OP294, OP295, OP296, OP297, OP299 (A, B, C) and OP297FAB, Plastic Package TO-18 or TO-46 devices include: OP293 and OP298 (A, B, C, AA, AD).

Features:

• Choice of narrow or wide irradiance pattern
