OPB848TXV
Features:
Non-contact switching
Apertured for high resolution
Hermetically sealed components
TX and TXV devices processed to MIL-PRF-19500
Description:
The OPB847TX, OPB847TXV, OPB848TX and OPB848TXV each consist of a gallium aluminum arsenide LED and a silicon
phototransistor, which is soldered into a printed PCBoard and then mounted in a high‐temperature plas c housing on
opposite sides of a 0.10 inch (2.54 mm) wide slot. Both device types have a 0.025 inch by 0.060 inch (0.635 mm by 1.524
mm) aperture in front of the phototransistor for high resolu on posi oning sensing. Phototransistor switching takes place
when an opaque object passes through the slot.
TX and TXV device components are processed to OPTEK’s military screening program pa erned a er MIL‐PRF‐19500.
Please refer to Applica on Bulle ns 208 and 210 for addi onal design informa on and reliability (degrada on) data.

Dura on can be extended to 10 seconds maximum when flow soldering.
Derate linearly 1.00 mW/° C above 25° C.
Methanol and isopropanol are recommended as cleaning agents.
Measurement is taken during the last 500 µs of a single 1.0 ms test pulse. Hea ng due to increased pulse rate or pulse width can cause
change in measurement results.
