The OPB917 series is a series of infrared emitting diodes and photo integrated circuits produced by Optek company. It is a modular design that provides users with multiple choices, including output configuration, external size, and electrical output type. The product has low power consumption, long optical path, and is suitable for various automation control fields.
The OPB917 consists of an infrared emitting diode and a Photologic™ photo‑integrated circuit mounted in an opaque housing with clear windows for dust protection. Its extended deep slot (0.86 in/21.8 mm) provides a longer optical path, and the device offers a choice of output configurations, low power consumption, and custom wiring options.
Electrical characteristics include a supply voltage range of 4.5‑16 V, forward diode voltage of 1.30‑1.80 V, reverse current of 100 µA, low‑level supply current of 7.0 mA, high‑level supply current of 6.0 mA, low‑level output voltage of 0.4 V, high‑level output voltage of 2.4 V, and a propagation delay of 3.0 µs. Part numbers differentiate output types such as buffered with 10 kΩ pull‑up, buffered open‑collector, inverted with 10 kΩ pull‑up, and inverted open‑collector.
