OPB821Z
Description:
Each
OPB820
and
OPB821Z
device consists of an infrared emitting diode (LED, 890 nm center wavelength) and
a NPN silicon phototransistor mounted in a low-cost black plastic housing on opposite sides of an 0.080” (2.03
mm) wide slot. Each device in this series has a 0.040” (1.02 mm) wide aperture located in front of the infrared
diode. Phototransistor switching occurs when an opaque object passes through the slot.
Devices are offered with 0.275” (6.96 mm) lead spacing for PCBoard mounting (OPB820) or 24” (609 mm) 26
AWG wire leads (OPB821Z).
Custom electrical, wire and cabling and connectors are available. Contact your local representative or OPTEK for
more information.

To avoid stress cracking, we suggest using
ND Industries’
Vibra-Tite
for thread-locking.
Vibra-Tite
evaporates fast without causing structural

Notes:
(1) RMA flux is recommended. Duration can be extended to 10 seconds maximum when flow soldering.
(2) For OPB820, derate linearly 1.67 mW/° C above 25° C. For OPB821Z, derate linearly 1.82 mW/° C above 25° C.
(3) Methanol or isopropanol are recommended as cleaning agents. Plastic housing is soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons and
ketones.
(4) All parameters were tested using pulse technique.
