De scrip tion
The OP793/OP798 series consists of
NPN silicon phototransistors molded in
dark blue epoxy packages. These
devices are 100% production tested
using infrared light for close correlation
with Optek’s GaAs and GaAlAs emitters.
The phototransistor has an internal base-
emitter resistor which provides protection
from low level ambient lighting
conditions. This feature is also useful
when the media being detected is semi-
transparent to infrared light in interruptive
applications.
