Frequently Asked Questions
At what wavelength does OP140B emit, and which types of photodetectors are best matched to it?
The OP140B emits at a 935 nm peak wavelength in the near-infrared range, which closely matches the peak sensitivity of silicon phototransistors and photodiodes typically centered around 900 nm to 1000 nm. This pairing maximizes optical coupling efficiency in isolation and proximity sensing circuits operating at standard drive currents of 20 mA to 100 mA.
How does OP140B compare to a visible-light LED for use in an enclosed optocoupler or object detection circuit?
Unlike visible-light LEDs, OP140B emits at 935 nm, which is invisible to the human eye and not affected by ambient visible light interference. In enclosed optocouplers or short-range object detection systems, this reduces false triggering from room lighting, and the IR emitter can be driven at 50 mA forward current without visible glow that could interfere with nearby optical sensors.
What are the typical forward voltage and forward current ratings for OP140B in a low-supply 3.3 V MCU-driven circuit?
The OP140B is a through-hole infrared emitting diode with a typical forward voltage of approximately 1.2 V to 1.5 V at 20 mA forward current, making it directly drivable from a 3.3 V MCU GPIO output through a current-limiting resistor of around 100 ohm. This makes it suitable for microcontroller-driven IR transmission in remote control and sensor applications.
For procurement of OP140B in industrial automation projects, is this part RoHS compliant and what package style does it use?
Yes, OP140B is RoHS compliant, making it eligible for use in environmentally regulated industrial and consumer products. It is supplied in a plastic through-hole package, which supports manual placement as well as automated through-hole insertion in low-to-medium volume production runs without requiring SMT reflow equipment.
