Description:

Each OPR5925 device is a four-element photodiode that is enclosed in a compact polyamide chip carrier and designed for a variety of encoder and control applications. The single chip construction ensures excellent matching and very tight dimensional tolerances between active areas. The custom opaque package shields the photodiodes from stray light and can withstand multiple exposures to the most demanding soldering conditions, while the wraparound gold-plated solder pads offer exceptional storage and wetting characteristics. Each anode and cathode in the OPR5925 is bonded out separately, which enables external connection in any desired configuration to match the sensing circuit requirements. See Application Bulletin 237 for handling instructions.
