De scrip tion
The OP599 series phototransistor
consists of an NPN silicon
phototransistor 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's packaging process provides
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.
