OP235TXV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OP235TXV is an infrared (IR) emitter operating at 890nm wavelength with a maximum forward current of 100mA and typical forward voltage of 1.55V. Housed in a TO-46-2 lens top metal can package with an 18° viewing angle, this component is designed for through-hole mounting applications requiring near-infrared emission in the 890nm spectrum.

The OP235TXV is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute parts becomes necessary when original stock is depleted or when design revisions require components with active product status and current manufacturing support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for IR emitters is determined by matching the following critical parameters:

• Wavelength: 890nm (exact match required)
• Maximum Forward Current: 100mA (exact match required)
• Typical Forward Voltage: 1.55V (exact match required)
• Viewing Angle: 18° (exact match required)
• Package / Case: TO-46-2 Lens Top Metal Can (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)

The OP235TX meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent to the OP235TXV.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OP235TX is the direct substitute for the OP235TXV. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the OP235TXV is obsolete, while the OP235TX maintains active product status with current manufacturing support.

The OP235TX offers improved compliance posture, meeting ROHS3 requirements compared to the non-compliant status of the OP235TXV. Both components maintain REACH unaffected status and identical export classification (EAR99).

Selection of the OP235TX is appropriate for new designs, production continuity, and applications requiring components with active manufacturer support and current compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the OP235TX directly replace the OP235TXV in existing designs?

A: Yes. The OP235TX is electrically and mechanically identical to the OP235TXV across all specified parameters, including wavelength (890nm), forward current (100mA), forward voltage (1.55V), viewing angle (18°), and package type (TO-46-2). Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between OP235TXV and OP235TX packaging?

A: The OP235TXV is supplied in tape packaging, while the OP235TX is supplied in bulk packaging. Both use the identical TO-46-2 lens top metal can component package. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Why is the OP235TXV classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support for this part number. The OP235TX represents the current active equivalent from the same manufacturer.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The OP235TX meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, while the OP235TXV is RoHS non-compliant. Both maintain REACH unaffected status. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the OP235TX is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both the OP235TXV and OP235TX operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C (TA).
