Fiber Optic Isolator—Phototransistor Sensor
OPI1280 Series
Features:
• Opaque plastic housings
• High noise immunity
• Visible Red LED with Phototranisitor Output
• 0.100” (2.54 mm) lead spacing
• Data Transfer through plastic fiber optic cable
• Isolation voltage 15 KV (OPI1280-032), Longer versions higher
RoHS
Description:
Each OPI1280 consists of a visible Red LED and a Phototra nsistor sens or, which are housed in separ ate opaque molded
plastic housings and coupled by plastic fiber optic cable. The heavy-duty opaque housing shields the optical signal from dust,
making this series of devices ideal for dust contaminated environments.
The OPI1280 series are designed for applications that require high voltage isolation between inp ut and output or signal
communication over short distances. Dep ending on the length of the fiber optic cable, the emitter does not have to be optically
in-line with the sensor. The isolati on voltage is greater than 10 K volts per inch (Isolation distance between components) for all
versions of the OPI1280.
Custom electrical, wire and cabling and connectors are available. Contact your local representative or OPTEK for more
information.
Applications:
• Requiring High Voltage isolation between input
and output
• Electrical isolation in dirty envi ronments
• Industrial equipment
• Medical equipm ent

Notes:
1. RMA flux is recommended. Duration can be extended to 10 seconds maximum when flow soldering. A maximum 20 grams force
may be applied to the leads when soldering.
2. Derate linearly 1.33 mW/° C above 25° C.
3. Isolation voltage testing is required.
4. Storage and Operating temperature values are based on the plastic optical interface temperature ratings. Please reference UL1577
and UL file AVLVZ.E89328
