OP23

The OP123 series are high intensity gallium arsenide infrared emitting diodes mounted in miniature "Pill" type hermetically sealed packages and this package style is intended for direct mounting into PC boards.

The features of OP123 can be summarized as (1)miniature hermetically sealed "Pill" package; (2)enhanced temperature range; (3)ideal for direct mounting to PC boards"'; (4)high power output; (5)mechanically and spectrally matched to the OP600 phototransistor and the OP300 photodarlington.

The absolute maximum ratings of OP123 are (1)reverse voltage: 2.0V; (2)continuous forward current: 100 mA; (3)peak forward current (2 ps pulse width, 0.1%duty cycle): 1.0 A; (4)storage temperature range: -65°C to +150°C; (5)operating temperature range: -65°C to +125°C; (6)soldering temperature (5 sec. with soldering iron): 260°C((1) refer to application bulletin 202 which reviews proper soldering techniques for pill-type devices. (2)No clean or low solids, RMA flux is recommended. Duration can be extended to 10 sec. max. when flow soldering); (7)power dissipation: 150 mW(3 derate linearly 1.50 mW above 25°C).
