DESCRIPTION
The 61055 is an N-P-N Planar Silicon Transistor in a package designed to be mounted in a double-clad printed circuit
board. It is available in a range of sensitivities and is lensed for minimum response to stray light. High sensitivity, low dark
current leakage, and low saturation voltage make this device ideal for interfacing with TTL circuits. Available custom binned
to customer specifications or screened to MIL-PRF-19500.
