About this manual

The OPF322 series consists of hermetically sealed GaAlAs LEDs pre‑mounted in a standard ST* fiber‑optic receptacle. The devices are supplied ready for PCB or panel mounting and include a lock washer, jam nut, two 2‑56 screws, and a dust cap. They are designed to couple with multimode optical fibers ranging from 50/125 µm to 200/300 µm.

Key specifications include a reverse voltage of about 6 V, a continuous forward current of 100 mA, and operating temperature limits from –40 °C to +100 °C. Typical coupled optical power varies by fiber size, with the OPF322B delivering about 12.5 µW at 100 mA and 25 °C. All LEDs undergo a 96‑hour, 100 mA burn‑in test to ensure reliability.
