OP525 and OP525DA
OP525F
Description:
These devices consist of an NPN silicon phototransistor and photo darlington mounted in a miniature SMD
package with a 1210 size chip carrier that is compatible with most automated mounting and position sensing
equipment.
The OP525 devices have a 1.8mm domed lens and viewing acceptance angle of 25° with higher collector current
gains due to the lenses on package. The OP525 and OP525DA have a water clear lens that senses ambient light
to higher wavelengths for applications from 450nm to 1120nm. The OP525F has a black domed lens to reduce
ambient light noise.
The OP525 series are tested using infrared light for close correlation with Optek GaAs and GaAlAs emitters.
Photo darlington devices are normally used in application where light signals are low and more current gain is
needed than is possible with phototransistors.
Applications:
• Non-contact position sensing
• Datum detection
• Machine automation
• Optical encoders
• Reflective and transmissive sensors
