Description
The OP224ESA is a high reliability gallium aluminum arsenide infrared emitting diode mounted in miniature “pill” type hermetically sealed package. This package style is intended for direct mounting into PC boards
All devices are processed to Optek’s 100 percent screening program patterned after ESA/SCC Generic Specification No. 5000. See page 13-4 for details.
Gallium aluminum arsenide features twice the radiated output of gallium arsenide at the same forward current. With a wavelength centered at 890 nanometers, it closely matches the spectral response of silicon phototransistors, such as Optek’s OP600 high reliability series.
