is a measurement of the average apertured radiant in cidence 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”(16.6 mm) from the measurement surface. E

Description
The OP245PS is an 850 nm, infrared
emItting diode molded in IR transmissive
amber-tinted epoxy packages. The
side-looking package is for use in PC
board mounted slotted switches or as
easily mounted interrupt detectors.
The stable V

characteristic make them ideal for
applications where voltage is limited
(such as battery operation).
The low t
