Surface Mount PIN Photodiode
OPR5910, OPR5913, OPR5915
OPTEK reserves the right to make changes at any time in order to improve design and to supply the best product possible.
Description:
Each OPR5910, OPR5913 and OP5915 device is a silicon PIN photodiode enclosed in a compact polyamide chip
carrier and is designed for open air communications and ambient light detection circuits.
The custom opaque package shields the photodiodes from stray light and can withstand multiple exposures to the
most demanding soldering conditions, while the wraparound gold-plated solder pads offer exceptional storage and
wetting characteristics.
See Application Bulletin 237 for Handling Instructions.
