De scrip tion
The OP223TX,TXV and OP224TX,TXV,
S are high reliability gallium aluminum
arsenide infrared emitting diodes
mounted in miniature “pill” type
hermetically sealed packages. This
package style is intended for direct
mounting into PC boards.
After electrical testing by manufacturing,
all devices are processed to Optek’s 100
percent screening program patterned
after MIL-PRF-19500. Typical screening
and lot acceptance tests are provided on
page 13-4.
Gallium aluminum arsenide features
twice the radiated output of gallium
arsenide at the same forward current.
With a wavelength centered at 890
nanometers, it closely matches the
spectral response of silicon
phototransistors.
