Plastic Point Source Infrared Emitting Diode
OP245PS
Features:
x Point source irradiance pattern
x Side-looking package for space-limited applications
x Wavelength matched to silicon’s peak response
x Higher power output than GaAs at equivalent drive currents
x Fast switching speed
Description:
Each OP245PS device is an infrared emitting diode with a 850 nm GaAIAs chip, molded in a clear IR-transmissive
side-looking epoxy package. This package makes these devices ideal for PCBoard mounted slotted switches and
for mounted interrupt detectors.
The stable forward V_F vs T_A characteristic make them suitable for applications that have limited voltage, such as
battery operation; whereas, the low T_R/T_F makes them ideal for high-speed operations.
Please refer to Application Bulletins 208 and 210 for additional design information and reliability (degradation) data.
Applications:
x Space-limited applications
x PCBoard mounted slotted
switch
x Mounted interrupt detector
x High-speed applications

To avoid stress cracking, we suggest using
ND Industries’ Vibra-Tite for thread-locking.
Vibra-Tite evaporates fast without causing structural
failure in OPTEK'S molded plastics.
OPTEK reserves the right to make changes at any time in order to improve design and to supply the best product possible.
