Hi-Rel Slotted Optical Switches
Types OPB821TX, OPB821TXV
24.0 (609.60)
#24 AWG
Features
• Non-contact switching
• Hermetically sealed components
• Components processed to Optek’s
screening program patterned after
MIL-PRF-19500 for TX and TXV
devices
Description
The OPB821TX or OPB821TXV consists
of a gallium aluminum arsenide LED and
a silicon phototransistor soldered into a
printed circuit board, then mounted in a
high temperature plastic housing on
opposite sides of an 0.080 inch (2.03
mm) wide slot. Lead wires are #24 AWG
polytetraflouroethylene (PTFE) insulated
conforming to MIL-W-16878.
Phototransistor switching takes place
whenever an opaque object passes
through the slot. For maximum output
signal, neither the LED or the
phototransistor in the OPB821TX or the
OPB821TXV is apertured.
The OPB821TX and OPB821TXV use
optoelectronic components that have
been processed and tested as either TX
or TXV components per MIL-PRF-19500.
Typical screening and lot acceptance
tests are provided on page 13-4.
