With up to 10mW total radiated power at the maximum drive current of 100mA, and 2.25° angle of half intensity, the OP207CL couples optical flux extremely efficiently onto the receiving photo-sensor to ensure clearly detectable on/off transitions. The integrated collimating lens creates a tight beam profile for use with accuracy-dependent devices such as radial or linear encoders for absolute or incremental measurement, as well as long-range light curtains, edge detectors, scanners, and general optical sensing and switching.
Having a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, the OP207CL can withstand demanding environments in a wide range of applications including industrial automation, safety systems, robotics, security detectors, or other equipment requiring dependable position, proximity, or motion sensing.
The surface-mount LED with integral moulded lens comes mounted on a 9.9mm x 9.9mm PCB substrate. The compact footprint and height of only 6.3mm allow use in space-constrained situations. The GaAIAs LED emits wavelengths in the 840-870nm near-infrared range for good spectral matching with silicon photo-sensors, and the typical rise/fall time of 22ns ensures fast response to turn-on/off signals.
TT Electronics’ OP207CL LEDs are available now, and shipped in plastic trays for protection during transit and storage. For further information download our OP207CL datasheet here, or browse our full portfolio of custom and semi-custom optoelectronics.
Military aviation is rewiring itself for the future, with modern aircraft ditching heavy hydraulics and pneumatics for smart electronic systems that cut weight, boost reliability, and slash maintenance costs.
