Description:
OP550, OP552, OP555 and OP750 series consists of a NPN silicon phototransistor molded in an epoxy package with a wide
receiving angle that provides relaꢁvely even recepꢁon over a large area. The OP750 series have addiꢁonal circuitry to
enhance the operaꢁon of the device for stray light levels.
The OP560 series consists of a NPN silicon photodarlington transistor molded in an epoxy package with a wide receiving
angle that provides relaꢁvely even recepꢁon over a large area.
The side-looking package design allows easy PCBoard mounꢁng of sloꢀed opꢁcal switches or opꢁcal interrupt detectors.
The OP550, OP560 and OP750 devices have an external lens in a clear epoxy package.
The OP552 device has an integral lens in an opaque plasꢁc package that is opꢁcally transparent to infrared light but opaque
to visible wavelengths. This feature allows the device to be used under high ambient light condiꢁons – or anywhere external
light sources could interfere with the intended sensing applicaꢁon (visible light immunity).
The OP555 device has an internal lens in a blue-ꢁnted package. The lensing effect of this package allows an acceptance half-
angle of 28° when measured from the opꢁcal axis to the half-power point.
These devices are 100% producꢀon tested using infrared light for close correlaꢀon with OPTEK’s GaAs and GaAIAs emiꢁers.
All of these sensors are mechanically and spectrally matched to the OP140, OP142, OP145, OP240 and OP245 series of
infrared emiꢂng diodes.
Please refer to Applicaꢀon Bulleꢀns 208 and 210 for addiꢀonal design informaꢀon and reliability (degradaꢀon) data.
