Hermetic Infrared Emitting Diode
OP215, OP216
Features:
• Hermetically sealed package
• Mechanically and spectrally matched to other OPTEK devices
• Designed for direct mount to PCBoard
• Enhanced temperature range
• Excellent coupling efficiency
OP216
OP215
Description:
Each OP215 and OP216 device is an 890 nm gallium aluminum arsenide infrared emitting diode (GaAIAs),
mounted in a hermetically sealed “pig tale” 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.
The OP216 series devices provide an additional mounting tab connected to the Cathode/Case.
All these LEDs are mechanically and spectrally matched to the OP300 series, OP516, 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
