OP300SL Series

Description:
Each device in this series is a NPN silicon photodarlington in a hermetically sealed pill package with a narrow
receiving angle that provides excellent on-axis coupling. Photodarlingtons are normally used in applications with
low light signal levels, where more current gain is needed than phototransistors can provide.
Components in the OP300 series are mechanically and spectrall y matched to the OP123 and OP223 series.
Please refer to Application Bulletins 20 8 and 210 for additional design inform ation and reliability (degra dation)
data, and to Application Bulletin 202 for pill-type soldering to PCBoard.
Features:
• Narrow receiving angle
• Variety of sensitivity ranges
• Enhanced temperature range
• PCBoard mounting
• Mechanically and spectrally matched to OP123 and OP223 LEDs

Notes:
(1) Refer to Application Bulleting 202, which discusses proper techniques for soldering pill-type devices to PCBoards.
(2) No clean or low solids. RMA flux is recommended. Duration can be extended to 10 seconds maximum when flow soldering.
(3) Derate linearly 0.5 mW/° C above 25° C.
(4) Junction temperature maintained at 25° C.
(5) Light source is an unfiltered tungsten bulb operating at CT = 2870° K at EE =1.0 mW/cm2 or 890nm at EE =0.4 mW/cm2 .
