Description
The OP999 photodiode consists of a PIN
silicon photodiode 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’ packaging process provides
s
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.
