PRELIMINARY
GaAlAs Hermetic Infrared Emitting Diodes
Type OP235W
Features
• High Speed
•Enhanced temperature range
• Wide irradiance pattern
•Mechanically and spectrally matched
to the OP800WSL and OP830SL
series devices
•Significantly higher power output than
GaAs at equivalent drive currents
•TO-46 hermetically sealed package
•Case is electrically connected to the
cathode
Description
The OP235W device is an 850 nm
gallium aluminum arsenide infrared
emitting diode mounted in a hermetically
sealed package. The broad irradiance
pattern provides relatively even
ilumination over a large area.

Notes:
(1) RMA flux is recommended. Duration can be extended to 10 seconds max. when flow
soldering.
(2) Derate linearly 2.0 mW/^o C above 25^o C.
(3) Ee(APT) is a measurement of the average radiant intensity emitted by the IRED within a cone
formed from the IRED chip to an aperture. The aperture of diameter 0.250”is located a
distance of 0.466”from the flange (measurement plane) to the aperture plane (parallel to the
measurement plane) along the optical and mechanical axis. The cone formed is a 30°cone.
The radiant intensity is not necessarily uniform within the measure area.
(4) Measurement made with 100µs pulse measured at the trailing edge of the pulse with a duty
cycle of 0.1% and an IF = 100 mA.
