OPV280 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OPV280 is a laser diode operating at 850nm wavelength with 4.5mW output power and 30mA current rating in a radial, side view package. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations. The OPV280 serves applications requiring near-infrared laser emission in compact radial configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the OPV280 are identified based on the following critical parameters:

• Wavelength: 850nm (primary functional requirement)
• Package configuration: Radial, Side View (mechanical and thermal interface requirement)
• Manufacturer: TT Electronics/Optek Technology (product line continuity)

The OPV380 qualifies as a substitute based on matching wavelength and package specifications. Differences in power output (1.5mW vs. 4.5mW) and current rating (7mA vs. 30mA) represent functional variations that must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OPV380 is available as an active product with current manufacturing support and RoHS3 compliance, providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete OPV280. Both components share identical wavelength specification (850nm) and package configuration (radial, side view), enabling direct mechanical and optical interface compatibility.

Selection between these parts depends on application power requirements. The OPV280 delivers 4.5mW output at 30mA, while the OPV380 operates at reduced power (1.5mW) and current (7mA). Applications requiring the full 4.5mW output specification cannot use the OPV380 as a direct functional substitute. Applications tolerant of lower power output benefit from the OPV380's active product status and modern compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the OPV380 directly replace the OPV280 in existing designs?

A: Mechanical and optical compatibility is confirmed through matching wavelength (850nm) and package configuration (radial, side view). Functional compatibility depends on application power requirements. The OPV380 operates at 1.5mW versus the OPV280's 4.5mW output, representing a 67% reduction in power delivery.

Q: What are the key differences between these laser diodes?

A: Primary differences are power output (4.5mW vs. 1.5mW), current rating (30mA vs. 7mA), and product status (obsolete vs. active). Both operate at 850nm wavelength in identical radial, side view packages with equivalent moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: Why is the OPV280 obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer discontinuation. The OPV380 represents the active product line continuation from TT Electronics/Optek Technology for 850nm radial laser diodes.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The OPV380 includes RoHS3 compliance certification in addition to shared REACH Unaffected and EAR99 designations. Both components meet export control and environmental compliance requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The OPV280 is supplied in standard packaging. The OPV380 is available in bulk packaging configuration. Both maintain identical radial, side view mechanical specifications.
