Choice of phototransistor or photodarlington output Unfocused for sensing diffuse surface Mounted on standard TO-72 header Available in clear encapsulating epoxy (OPB710, OPB730) Filtered to reduce the effect of visible or fluorescent light
(OPB710F, OPB730F)
F-Package
OPB710 and OPB710F consist of a gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode and an NPN silicon phototransistor. OPB730 and OPB730F consist of a gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode and an NPN silicon photodarlington.
On each sensor, the emitting diode and detector are mounted side-by-side on parallel axes in a standard TO-72 header. A black plastic sleeve is attached and filled with encapsulating epoxy to cover the emitter and detector.
