Description:
The OPB800L series, PCBoard mounꢀng, of wide gap switch provides the flexibility of a custom device from a standard
product line, while the OPB800W series, remote mounted, switch offers 24” (610 mm) 26 AWG wire interconnect.
Building from a standard housing that uꢀlizes a 0.375” (9.5 mm) wide slot, a user can specify the electrical output
parameters, discrete shell material and the aperture width.
Housings are made from an opaque grade of injecꢀon-molded plasꢀc that minimizes the assembly’s sensiꢀvity to visible and
near-infrared ambient radiaꢀon. Discrete shells, which are exposed on parallel faces inside the device throat, are made of
IR transmissive plasꢀc (for applicaꢀons where aperture contaminaꢀon may occur) or of opaque plasꢀc with aperture
openings (for maximum protecꢀon against ambient light).
CONTAINS POLYSULFONE
Applications:
To avoid stress cracking, we suggest using ND Industries’ Vibra-
Tite for thread-locking. ND Vibra-Tite VC-3 evaporates fast with-
out causing structural failure in OPTEK’s molded plasꢀcs.
