OP593

The OP593 series consist of NPN silicon phototransistors molded in dark blue epoxy packages. These devices are 100% production tested using infrared light for close correlation with Optek's GaAs and GaAIAs emitters. The wide receiving angle provides relatively even reception over a large area.

The features of OP593 can be summarized as (1)wide receiving angle; (2)variety of sensitivity ranges; (3)TO-18 equivalent package style.

The absolute maximum ratings of OP593 are (1)collector-emitter voltage: 30 V; (2)emitter-collector voltage: 5.0V; (3)storage and operating temperature range: -40°C to +100°C; (4)lead soldering temperature [1/16 inch iron]: 260°C(1 RMA flux is recommended. Duration can be extended to 10 sec. max. when flow soldering. Max. 20 grams force may be applied to leads when soldering.); (5)power dissipation: 250mW(2 derate linearly 3.33mW/°C above 25°C).
