Description:
Each device in this series provides the flexibility of a custom device from a standard product line. Building from a
standard housing with a 0.125” (3.175 mm) wide slot, a user can choose aperture width, opaque or IR
transmissive housing shell material, PCBoard lead spacing or wires and mounting tab configuration.
Housings are made from an opaque grade of injection-molded plastic to minimize sensitivity to both visible and
near-infrared light. Discrete shells exposed on the parallel faces inside each device’s throat are made from either
IR transmissive plastic (for applications where dust protection is needed) or from opaque plastic with aperture
openings (for applications that require maximum protection against ambient light).
Phototransistor sensor devices include the OPB859, PB360, OPB370, OPB380, OPB390, OPB860 and OPB870,
while the OPB355 provides a photodiode sensor. The photodiode sensor has a lower and more linear output-
versus-light input than the phototransistor models.
The OPB355, OPB360, OPB370, OPB859, OPB860 and OPB870 are designed for direct connection to through
hole PCBoards. The OPB380, OPB390, OPB880 and OPB890 have 26 AWG wires connected directly to the
device for remote sensing applications.
Custom electrical, wire and cabling and connectors are available. Contact your local representative or OPTEK for
more information.
Applications:
• Non-contact object sensing
• Assembly line automation
• Machine automation
• Equipment safety
• Machine safety

To avoid stress cracking, we suggest using ND Industries’ Vibra-Tite for thread-locking.
Vibra-Tite evaporates fast without causing structural failure in OPTEK’s molded plastics.
Applies to: OPB360, OPB370, OPB380, OPB390
and OPB860, OPB870, OPB880, OPB890.
OPTEK reserves the right to make changes at any time in order to improve design and to supply the best product possible.
