Hi-Reliability GaAIAs Infrared Emitting Diode

OP223, OP224 (TX, TXV)

OP224 (S)

Description:

Each OP223 (TX, TXV) and OP224 (S, TX, TXV) device is an 890 nm high reliability gallium aluminum arsenide

infrared emitting diode that is mounted in a miniature hermetically sealed “pill” type package which can be directly

mounted to PCBoards. The gallium aluminum arsenide feature provides twice the radiated output of gallium

arsenide at the same forward current.

After electrical testing by manufacturing, devices are processed to OPTEK’s 100 percent screening program,

which is patterned after MIL-PRF-19500. With a wavelength centered at 890 nm, the OP223 (TX, TXV) and

OP224 (S, TX, TXV).

TX and TXV devices are processed to OPTEK’s military screening program patterned after MIL-PRF-19500.

Please refer to Application Bulletins 208 and 210 for additional design information and reliability (degradation) data.

Contact your local representative or OPTEK for more information.
