Hermetic Infrared Emitting Diode
OP230 Series
Absolute Maximum Ratings (TA=25°C unless otherwise noted)
Storage Temperature Range -65o C to +150o C
Reverse Voltage 2.0 A
Continuous Forward Current 100 mA
Peak Forward Current 10.0 A
Lead Soldering Temperature [1/16 inch (1.6 mm) from case for 5 seconds with soldering iron] 260° C(1)(2)
Power Dissipation 200 mW(3)
Operating Temperature Range -65o C to +125o C
Notes:
1. RMA flux is recommended. Duration can be extended to 10 seconds maximum when flow soldering.
2. Derate linearly 2.0 mW/° C above 25° C.
3. Measurement made with 100 µs pulse measured at the trailing edge of the pulse with a duty cycle of 0.1% and an IF = 100 mA.
4. For the OP231 series, EE(APT) is a measurement of the average radiant intensity within the cone formed by the measurement surface,
a radius of 1.429” (36.30 mm) measured from the lens side of the tab to the sensing surface and a sensing surface of 0.250” (6.35
mm) in diameter forming a 10° cone. For the OP231W series, EE(APT) is a measurement of the average radiant intensity within the
