Description:

Each OP950, OP954 and OP955 device consists of a PIN silicon photodiode molded in an epoxy packge that allows spectral

response from visible to infrared light wavelengths. The side-looking package is designed for easy PCBoard moun ng and

space-limited applica ons.

The OP950 has a 95° wide receiving angle that provides rela vely even recep on over a large area and is mechanically and

spectrally matched to OPTEK’s GaAs and GaAiAs series of infrared emi ng diodes.

The OP954 has a 128° very wide receiving angle that provides rela vely even recep on over a large area.

The OP955 has a 95° wide receiving angle with a recessed lens, which allows an acceptance half-angle of 45° when

measured from the op cal axis to the half power point.

Both OP954 and OP955 components are 100% produc on tested, using infrared light for close correla on with OPTEK’s

GaAs and GaAIAs emi ers.

Please refer to Applica on Bulle ns 208 and 210 for addi onal design informa on and reliability (degrada on) data.
