OPL800TX Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OPL800TX is an optical sensor from the Photologic® series manufactured by TT Electronics/Optek Technology. It functions as a 935nm photo detector with logic output in a hermetic TO-18 small package. The OPL800TX is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations. The OPL800TXV serves as the direct active production equivalent.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the OPL800TX is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Wavelength: 935nm
• Sensor Type: Photo Detector with Logic Output
• Output Type: Push-Pull configuration
• Package: TO-18 small hermetic housing
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 110°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The OPL800TXV meets all substitution criteria and is the direct equivalent part currently in active production status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OPL800TXV is the direct substitute for the obsolete OPL800TX. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The OPL800TXV maintains active production status with TT Electronics/Optek Technology, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. Selection of the OPL800TXV eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional and physical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the OPL800TXV directly replace the OPL800TX in existing designs?

A: Yes. The OPL800TXV is electrically and mechanically identical to the OPL800TX across all specified parameters, including wavelength, output type, package configuration, and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from OPL800TX to OPL800TXV?

A: The OPL800TX is classified as obsolete. The OPL800TXV is the active production equivalent, ensuring continued component availability and supply chain support.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the OPL800TX and OPL800TXV carry identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Q: Does the TO-18 small package remain the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both components use the identical TO-18 small hermetic package, requiring no PCB layout or mechanical modifications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these optical sensors?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
