Product Bulletin OPB817
February 2001
Slotted Optical Switch
Type OPB817
Features
• .20”(5.08 mm) wide gap
• 24”minimum, 26 AWG wire leads
•Dust protection
• .86”(21.8 mm) deep slot
Description
The OPB817 consists of an infrared
emitting diode and an NPN silicon
phototransistor mounted in an opaque
housing with clear windows for dust
protection. The extended deep slot
allows for a longer reach of the optical
center line from the mounting plane, .90”
(22.86 mm).
Internal apertures are .010”x 0.06”for
the phototransistor “S side”and .050”x
.06”for the LED “E side”.
Custom electrical, wire or cabling is
available. Contact your local
representative or Optek for more
information.

NOTES:
(1) Derate linearly 1.67 mW/°C above 25°C.
(2) All parameters tested using pulse technique.
(3) Clear dust protection.
PRECAUTIONS: Exposure of the plastic body to chlorinated hydrocarbons and ketones such as
thread lock and instant adhesive products will degrade the plastic body. Cleaning agents
methanol and isopropanol are recommended. Spray or wipe do not submerge.
