Specifications and operating details
The following points were extracted from the PDF text. Check the associated conditions, notes and limits in the complete document before using a value in a design.
- Features: Flat lens for wide radiation angle (OP168, OP268) Integral lens for narrow beam angle (OP169, OP269) Easily stackable on 0.100” (2.54 mm) hole centers Mechanically and spectrally matched to other OPTEK devices Applications: Space.
- For OP168 (FA, FB, FC) and OP268 (FA, FB, FC), E E(APT) is a measurement of the average apertured radiant energy incident upon a sensing area 0.081” (2.06 mm) in diameter perpendicular to and centered on the mechanical axis of the lens and.
- For OP169 (A, B, C) and OP269 (A, B, C), EE(APT) is a measurement of the average apertured radiant energy incident upon a sensing area 0.180” (4.57 mm) in diameter perpendicular to and centered on the mechanical axis of the lens and 0.653”.
Topics covered by the datasheet
The document includes sections related to:
- Ordering Information
Engineering review checklist
- Confirm repetitive reverse voltage, average forward current, surge current and leakage at the intended temperature.
- Check forward-voltage loss and reverse-recovery behavior at the actual current and switching frequency.
- Review package thermal resistance, copper area, polarity marking and transient derating before layout release.
Always confirm values against the latest manufacturer-controlled datasheet, especially when qualifying a substitute or releasing a production BOM.
