Descripꢀon:
Each OPB870, OPB871 and OPB872 (TX, TXV) phototransistor device provides the flexibility of a custom device from a
standard product line. Building from a standard housing with a 0.125” (3.175 mm) wide slot and 0.425” ( mm) leads for
PCBoard mounꢁng, a user can choose aperture width, opaque or IR transmissive housing shell material and mounꢁng tab
configuraꢁon.
Housings are made from an opaque grade of injecꢁon-molded plasꢁc to minimize sensiꢁvity to both visible and near-
infrared light. Discrete shells exposed on the parallel faces inside each device’s throat are made from either IR transmissive
plasꢁc (for applicaꢁons where dust protecꢁon is needed) or from opaque plasꢁc with aperture openings (for applicaꢁons
that require maximum protecꢁon against ambient light).
TX and TXV devices are processed to OPTEK’s military screening program paꢀerned aꢂer MIL-PRF-19500.
Please refer to Applicaꢁon Bulleꢁns 208 and 210 for addiꢁonal design informaꢁon and reliability (degradaꢁon) data.
