Features:
x Point source irradiance pattern
x Side-looking package for space-limited applications
x Wavelength matched to silicon’s peak response
x Higher power output than GaAs at equivalent drive currents
x Fast switching speed
Description:
Each OP245PS device is an infrared emitting diode with a 850 nm GaAIAs chip, molded in a clear IR-transmissive
side-looking epoxy package. This package makes these devices ideal for PCBoard mounted slotted switches and
for mounted interrupt detectors.
