Description
The OP599 series phototransistor
consists of an NPN silicon
phototransistor mounted in a dark blue
plastic injection molded shell package.
The narrow receiving angle provides
excellent on-axis coupling. The sensors
are 100% production tested for close
correlation with Optek GaAlAs emitters.
Optek’s packaging process provides
excellent optical and mechanical axis
alignment. The shell also provides
excellent optical lens surface, control of
chip placement, and consistency of the
outside package dimensions.
Notes:
(1) RMA flux is recommended. Duration can be extended to 10 sec. max. when flow soldering.
Max. 20 grams force may be applied to leads when soldering.
(2) Derate linearly 1.33 mW/o C above 25o C.
(3) VCE = 5 V. Light source is an unfiltered GaAlAs emitting diode operating at peak emission
wavelength of 890 nm and Ee(APT) of .25 mW/cm2.
(4) This dimension is held to within ± 0.005" on the flange edge and may vary up to ± 0.020" in
the area of the leads.
