Mechanically and spectrally matched to other Optek devices
Choice of power ranges
Choice of narrow or wide irradiance pa ern
Descrip on:
Each device in this series is a gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAIAs) infrared emi ng diode, mounted in a herme c metal TO‐
46 housing. The gallium aluminum arsenide feature provides a higher radiated output than gallium arsenide at the same
forward current.
Each
OP231, OP232, OP233, OP234
and
OP235
device is lensed to provide a narrow beam angle (18°) between half power
points. The 890 nm wavelength closely matches the spectral response of silicon phototransistors, while the narrow beam
angle – combined with the specified radiant intensity of the OP231 series – facilitates easy design in beam interrupt
applica ons in conjunc on with the OP800 or OP598 series photosensors.
The OP231 series is mechanically and spectrally
matched to OP800, OP593 and OP598 phototransistors.
Each
OP231W, OP232W, OP233W, OP234W
and
OP235W
device is lensed to provide a wide beam angle (50°) between half
power points. The 890 nm wavelength closely matches the spectral response of silicon photo‐transistors, while the wide
beam angle provides rela vely even illumina on over a large area.
The OP231W is mechanically and spectrally matched to
the OP800WSL and OP830SL series devices.

E(APT)
is a measurement of the average radiant intensity within the cone formed by the measurement surface, a radius of
1.429” (36.30 mm) measured from the lens side of the tab to the sensing surface and a sensing surface of 0.250” (6.35 mm) in diameter forming a 10°
cone. For the OP231W series, E
E(APT)
is a measurement of the average radiant intensity within the cone formed by the measurement surface, a radius
of 0.466” (11.84 mm) measured from the lens side of the tab to the sensing surface and a sensing surface of 0.250” (6.35 mm) in diameter forming a
10° cone. E
E(APT)
is not necessarily uniform within the measured area.
