Features

Description

The OP993 photodiode consists of a PIN

silicon photodiode mounted in a dark

blue plastic injection molded shell

package. The wide receiving angle

provides excellent on-axis coupling. The

sensors are 100% production tested for

close correlation with Optek 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

external package dimensions.
