Description
The OPF341 series LED consists of a
hermetic LED, pre-mounted and aligned
in an SMA receptacle. This configuration
is designed for PC board or panel
mounting. Includes lock washer and jam
nut, two 2-56 screws, and a dust cap.
The LED’ are designed to interface with
s
multimode optical fibers from 50/125 to
200/300 microns.
