The OP230WPS is an 850 nm, top surface emitting, IRED. The .004” emitting area centered under a nondistorting flat lens can be used in many applications where external lensing is desired. The stable VF vs. Temperature characteristic make them ideal for applications were voltage is limited (such as battery operation). The low tr/tf make them ideal for high speed operations.
The Optek OP230WPS is a hermetic point source infrared emitting diode (IRED) operating at a wavelength of 850 nm. It features a top-surface emitting design with a flat window and a .004" emitting area, making it suitable for applications requiring external lensing. The device is housed in a TO-46 package style and is designed for fast switching operations.
