Description:
Each diode in this series is molded into an end-looking plastic package. The package for all
OP168F
and
OP268F
devices is black, whereas the package for all
OP169
and
OP269
packages is clear.
OP168F
and
OP169
devices
are GaAs.
OP268F
and
OP269
devices are GaAIAs.
The
OP268FPS
is an 850nm gallium aluminum arsenide infrared emitting diode molded in a end-looking miniature
plastic package. The advantage of this emitter is that it emits photons from a 0.004” area that is aligned with the
package optical centerline. Unlike other GaAlAs emitters, this device performs more like an ideal point source and
is suitable for use with lenses to create collimated light sources that can be used in a variety of applications.
Due to their small size, all diodes in this series offer considerable design flexibility.
The OP168F and OP268F series are mechanically and spectrally matched to the OP508F series phototransistor
and the OP538F series photodarlingtons. The OP169 and OP269 series are mechanically and spectrally
matched to the OP509 series phototransistors.
Please refer to Application Bulletins 208 and 210 for additional design information and reliability (degradation) data.

Notes:
1. RMA flux is recommended. Duration can be extended to 10 seconds maximum when flow soldering. A maximum of 20 grams force
may be applied to the leads when soldering.
2. Derate linearly 1.33 mW/° C above 25° C.
3. For OP168 (FA, FB, FC) and OP268 (FA, FB, FC), E
E(APT)
is a measurement of the average apertured radiant energy incident upon a
sensing area 0.081” (2.06 mm) in diameter perpendicular to and centered on the mechanical axis of the lens and 0.400” (10.16 mm)
from the measurement surface. For OP169 (A, B, C) and OP269 (A, B, C), E
E(APT)
is a measurement of the average apertured radiant
energy incident upon a sensing area 0.180” (4.57 mm) in diameter perpendicular to and centered on the mechanical axis of the lens
and 0.653” (16.6 mm) from the lens tip. NOTE: E
E(APT)
is a measurement of the
average
radiant intensity within the cone formed by
the above conditions. E
E(APT)
is not necessarily uniform within the measured area.
