The OP165 series is a high intensity gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode (GaAIAs) that is molded in an IR transmissive clear or amber-tinted epoxy package with either a dome or flat lens. Devices feature narrow and wide irradiance patterns and a variety of electrical characteristics. The small T-1 package style makes these devices ideal for space-limited applications.
**Applications:**
* Space-limited applications
* Applications requiring coupling efficiency
* Battery-operated or voltage-limited applications
**Features:**
* T-1 (3 mm) package style
* Choice of narrow or wide irradiance pattern
* Choice of dome lens or flat lens
* Mechanically and spectrally matched to other OPTEK devices
* Higher power output than GaAs at equivalent drive currents
