100 mA
Lead Soldering Temperature [1/16 inch (1.6 mm) from case for 5 seconds with soldering iron](1) 260° C
Power Dissipation(2) 100 mW
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. For OP168 (FA, FB, FC) and OP268 (FA, FB, FC), EE(APT) is a measurement of the average apertured radiant energy incident upon a
sensing area 0.081” (2.06 mm) in diameter perpendicular to and centered on the mechanical axis of the lens and 0.400” (10.16 mm)
from the measurement surface. For OP169 (A, B, C) and OP269 (A, B, C), 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” (16.6 mm) from the lens tip. NOTE: EE(APT) is a measurement of the average radiant intensity within the cone formed by
the above conditions. EE(APT) is not necessarily uniform within the measured area.
