Features

Description

The OP599 series phototransistor

consists of an NPN silicon

phototransistor mounted in a dark blue

plastic injection molded shell package.

The narrow receiving angle provides

excellent on-axis coupling. The sensors

are 100% production tested for close

correlation with Optek GaAlAs emitters.

Optek’s packaging process provides

excellent optical and mechanical axis

alignment. The shell also provides

excellent optical lens surface, control of

chip placement, and consistency of the

outside package dimensions.
