Twice the power output of GaAs at the
same drive current
Characterized to define infrared energy
along the mechanical axis of the
device
Mechanically and spectrally matched
to the OP804TX/TXV and
OP805TX/TXV phototransistors
Screened per MIL-PRF-19500 TX or
TXV equivalent levels
De scrip ion
The OP235TX, TXV and OP236TX, TXV
are high reliability gallium aluminum
arsenide infrared emitting diodes
mounted in hermetic TO-46 packages.
The wavelength is centered at 890
nanometers to closely match the spectral
response of silicon photoransistors.
Devices are processed to Optek’s 100%
screening and quality conformance
program patterned after MIL-PRF-19500.
After 100% screening, Group A and B are
performed on every lot, and a Group C
test is performed every six months.
The OP235TX, TXV and OP236TX, TXV
have lens cans providing a narrow beam
angle (18
o
between half power points).
The narrow beam angle and the specified
radiant intensity allow ease of design in
beam interrupt applications with the
OP804TX, TXV and OP805TX, TXV
series of high reliability phototransistors.

measurement surface. The cone is outlined by a radius of 1.429 inches (36.30 mm)
measured from the lens side of the tab to the sensing surface and a sensing surface of 0.250
