TT Electronics/Optek Technology OPR5500

The OPR5200 is a miniature high-efficiency GaAlAs LED in a high-temperature polyamide chip carrier, ideal for space-constrained applications requiring tight channel spacing. The OPR5500 is a miniature NPN silicon phototransistor in a high-temperature polyamide chip carrier, ideal for space-constrained applications requiring tight channel spacing. When the OPR5200 and OPR5500 (miniature phototransistor) are used together, this side-mount option can be used to create unfocused reflective or slotted switch configurations. These components can be automatically placed using standard SMD equipment and reflowed by virtually any conventional method. Wrap-around contacts allow them to be mounted face-up or on their side, orienting the beam parallel to the mounting plane.
