Description:

Each OP215 and OP216 device is an 890 nm gallium aluminum arsenide infrared emitting diode (GaAIAs), mounted in a hermetically sealed “pig tale" package with an enhanced temperature range and a narrow irradiance pattern that provides high on-axis intensity for excellent coupling efficiency. These devices offer significantly higher power output than GaAs at equivalent drive currents and have a wavelength that is matched to silicon’s peak response. Their small package size permits high device density mounting. The OP216A device provide an additional mounting tab connected to the Cathode/Case. these LEDs are mechanically and spectrally matched to the OP300 series, OP516, OP600 series and OP640 series devices.
