Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the OP800SL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Wavelength: 890nm infrared detection capability
• Voltage Rating: Collector-Emitter breakdown voltage of 30 V
• Current Specifications: Maximum collector current (Ic) of 50 mA and maximum dark current (Id) of 100 nA
• Power Dissipation: Maximum power rating of 250 mW
• Package Type: TO-206AA (TO-18-3 Metal Can) with through-hole mounting
• Orientation: Top view configuration
• Operating Temperature: -65°C to 125°C range
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The OP800B is identified as the direct substitute, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OP800B is the direct equivalent for OP800SL applications. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings, optical specifications, and mechanical form factors. The primary distinction is product status: OP800SL is obsolete while OP800B is active, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry REACH unaffected status, making them suitable for regulated applications. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Selection of OP800B over OP800SL is driven by supply chain continuity and active product lifecycle support from TT Electronics/Optek Technology.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OP800B directly replace OP800SL in existing designs?

A: Yes. The OP800B maintains identical electrical specifications (30 V breakdown voltage, 50 mA maximum collector current, 100 nA maximum dark current), optical wavelength (890nm), power rating (250 mW), and mechanical packaging (TO-206AA, TO-18-3 Metal Can, through-hole, top view). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: Why is OP800SL listed as obsolete?

A: OP800SL has reached end-of-life status with TT Electronics/Optek Technology. OP800B is the active production equivalent, ensuring ongoing supply and technical support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between OP800SL and OP800B?

A: No. Both parts use identical TO-206AA (TO-18-3 Metal Can) packaging with through-hole mounting and top view orientation. Pin configuration and footprint are identical.

Q: Do compliance certifications differ between the two parts?

A: No. Both OP800SL and OP800B carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. MSL rating is 1 (Unlimited) for both parts.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these phototransistors?

A: Both OP800SL and OP800B operate across -65°C to 125°C, supporting industrial and extended temperature applications.

Q: Are there any electrical parameter differences that would affect circuit performance?

A: No. All critical electrical parameters are identical: 30 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage, 50 mA maximum collector current, 100 nA maximum dark current, and 250 mW maximum power dissipation.
