OP508FA Overview
The OP508FA consists of an NPN silicon phototransistor mounted in a flat, black plastic “end-looking” package. The flat sensing surface allows an acceptance half-angle of 60° when measured from the optical axis to the half power point. Each device in the OP509 series consists of an NPN silicon phototransistor mounted in a lensed, clear plastic “end-looking” package.
OP508FA Key Features
- Flat lensed for wide acceptance angle (OP508F)
- Lensed for high sensitivity (OP509)
- Easily stackable on 0.100” (2.54 mm) hole centers
- Inexpensive plastic package
- Mechanically and spectrally matched to OP168 and OP268 series of infrared
