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 GaAs LED with a peak emission wavelength of 935nm and a radiometric intensity level which varies less than 10% over the entire lens surface of the photodiode being tested. (4) To calculate typical dark current in µA, use the formula ID = 10(0.042 TA-1.5) where TA is ambient temperature in o C. limited applications The OP950 device consists of a PIN silicon photodiode molded in a clear epoxy package which allows spectral response from visible to infrared light wavelengths. The wide receiving angle provides relatively even reception over a large area. The side-looking package is designed for easy PC board mounting. This photodiode is mechanically and spectrally matched to Optek’s GaAs and GaAlAs series of infrared emitting diodes.
