Plastic Infrared Emitting Diode
OP240 Series
OP245 Series
OP245 (A, B, C, D)
1
Pin # LED
1 Cathode
2 Anode

CONTAINS POLYSULFONE
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.

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° C.
3. EE(APT) is a measurement of the average apertured radiant energy incident 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” (6.60 mm) from the lens tip. EE(APT) is not necessarily
uniform within the measured area.
OPTEK reserves the right to make changes at any time in order to improve design and to supply the best product possible.
