OP232W

The OP232W is a gallium aluminium arsenide (GaAIAs) Infrared Emitting Diode, mounted in a hermetic metal housing. The gallium aluminium arsenide feature provides a higher radiated output than gallium arsenide at the same forward current. The device is lensed to provide a wide beam angle (50°) between half power points. The 890nm wavelength closely matches the spectral response of silicon phototransistors, while the wide beam angle provides relatively even illumination over a large area. It is suitable for use in non-contact reflective object sensor, assembly line automation, machine automation, machine safety, end of travel sensor, door sensor.

• Focused and non-focused optical light pattern
• Enhanced temperature range
• Mechanically and spectrally matched to other OPTEK devices
