High Reliability Hermetic Infrared Emitting
Diode
OP235TX, OP236 (TX, TXV)
Obsolete (OP235TXV)
Features:
• TO-46 hermetically sealed package with lens • Twice the power output of GaAs at same drive current • Characterized to define infrared energy along mechanical axis of device • Narrow beam angle • Processed to MIL-PRF-19500
Description:
Each device in this series is a gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAIAs) infrared emitting diode, mounted in a hermetic metal TO46 housing with 0.50” (12.70 mm) leads. The gallium aluminum arsenide feature provides a higher radiated output than gallium arsenide at the same forward current, while the 890 nm wavelength closely matches the spectral response of silicon phototransistors.
