Hermetic Infrared Emitting Diode
OP123, OP124
OP223, OP224
Features:
• Hermetically sealed package
• Mechanically and spectrally matched to other OPTEK devices
• Designed for direct mount to PCBoard
Description:
Each OP123 and OP124 device is a 935 nanometer (nm) high intensity gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode
(GaAs), mounted in a miniature hermetically sealed “pill” package with an enhanced temperature range and a high
power output. These devices are designed for direct mounting to PCBoards.
Each OP223 and OP224 device is an 890 nm gallium aluminum arsenide infrared emitting diode (GaAIAs),
mounted in a hermetically sealed “pill” package with an enhanced temperature range and a narrow irradiance
pattern that provides high on-axis intensity for excellent coupling efficiency. These devices offer significantly higher
power output than GaAs at equivalent drive currents and have a wavelength that is matched to silicon’s peak
response. Their small package size permits high device density mounting.
All these LEDs are mechanically and spectrally matched to the OP300 series, OP600 series and OP640 series
devices.
Please refer to Application Bulletins 208 and 210 for additional design information and reliability (degradation)
data, and to Application Bulletin 202 for pill-type soldering to PCBoard.
Applications:
• Non-contact reflective object sensor
• Assembly line automation
• Machine automation
• Machine safety
• End of travel sensor
• Door sensor
