The narrow receiving angle provides excellent on-axis coupling. The sensors are 100% production tested for close correlation with Optek GaAlAs emitters. 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 1.67 mW/o C above 25o C. (3) Light source is an unfiltered GaAlAs emitting diode operating at peak emission wavelength of 890 nm and Ee(APT) of 0.25 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. Typical Performance Curves 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.
