Description

The OPB360/370 series of slotted

switches provides the design engineer

with the flexibility of a custom device

from a standard product line. Building

from a standard housing with a .125"

(3.18 mm) wide slot, the user can specify

(1) electrical output parameters, (2)

mounting tab configuration, (3) choice of

lead spacing, (4) discrete shell material,

and (5) aperture width.

All housings are an opaque grade of

injection-molded plastic to minimize the

assembly's sensitivity to ambient

radiation, both visible and near-infrared.

Discrete shells (exposed on the parallel

faces inside the device throat) are either

IR transmissive plastic for applications

where aperture contamination may occur

or opaque plastic with aperture openings

for maximum protection against ambient

light.

Notes:

(1) Derate linearly 1.67 mW/

(2) RMA flux is recommended. Duration can be extended to 10 sec. max. when flow soldering.

(3) All parameters tested using pulse technique.

(4) Lead spacing of 0.220" (5.59 mm) or 0.320" (8.13 mm) is available. Leads are 0.20" sq. (5.08

mm) and 0.425" (10.80 mm) long (min).

(5) Methanol and isopropanol are recommended as cleaning agents. Plastic housings are

soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons and ketones.

(6) Polarity is denoted by color of housing top:
