Description
The OP245PS is an 850 nm, infrared
emItting diode molded in IR transmissive
amber-tinted epoxy packages. The
side-looking package is for use in PC
board mounted slotted switches or as
easily mounted interrupt detectors.
NOTES:
(1) RMA flux is recommended. Duration can be extended to 10 seconds maximum when flow
soldering. A maximum of 20 grams force may be applied to the leads when soldering.
(2) Derate linearly 1.33 mW/°C above 25°.
(3) Ee(APT) is a measurement of the average apertured radiant incidence upon a sensing area
0.180”(4.57 mm) in diameter, perpendicular to and centered on the mechanical axis of the
lens, and 0.653”(16.6 mm) from the measurement surface. Ee(APT) is not necessarily
uniform within the measured area.
The stable VF vs. Temperature
characteristic make them ideal for
applications where voltage is limited
(such as battery operation).
The low tr/tf make them ideal for high
speed operations.
