Descripon:
OP550, OP552, OP555, OP750, and OP770 series consists of a NPN silicon phototransistor molded in an epoxy package with
a wide receiving angle that provides relavely even recepon over a large area. The OP750 and OP770 have addional
circuitry to enhance the operaon of the device for stray light levels.
OP560 and OP565 series consists of a NPN silicon photodarlington transistor molded in an epoxy package with a wide
receiving angle that provides relavely even recepon over a large area.
The side-looking package design allows easy PCBoard mounng of sloed opcal switches or opcal interrupt detectors.
The OP550, OP560, OP750 and OP770 devices have an external lens in a clear epoxy package.
The OP552 device has an integral lens in an opaque plasc package that is opcally transparent to infrared light but opaque
to visible wavelengths. This feature allows the device to be used under high ambient light condions – or anywhere
external light sources could interfere with the intended sensing applicaon (visible light immunity).
The OP555 and OP565 devices have an internal lens in a blue-nted package. The lensing eect of this package allows an
acceptance half-angle of 28° when measured from the opcal axis to the half-power point.
These devices are 100% producon tested using infrared light for close correlaon with OPTEK’s GaAs and GaAIAs emiers.
All of these sensors are mechanically and spectrally matched to the OP140, OP142, OP145, OP240 and OP245 series of
infrared eming diodes.
Please refer to Applicaon Bullens 208 and 210 for addional design informaon and reliability (degradaon) data.
For custom versions please contact your OPTEK representave.
