Description:

Each device in this series consists of a NPN silicon phototransistor mounted in a dark blue plas c injec on molded shell

package, with a narrow receiving angle that provides excellent on-axis coupling and op cal/mechanical axis alignment. The

shell also provides excellent op cal lens surface, control of chip placement and consistency of the outside package

dimensions.

The OP599 series sensors are 100% produc on tested for close correla on with OPTEK GaAIAs emi ers.

Please refer to Applica on Bulle ns 208 and 210 for addi onal design informa on and reliability (degrada on) data.

To avoid stress cracking, we suggest using

ND Industries’ Vibra-Tite for thread-locking.

Vibra-Tite evaporates fast without causing structural failure in
