Description:
The OPB817Z slotted switch consists of an infrared emitting diode and a NPN silicon phototransistor mounted in
an opaque housing with clear windows for dust protection. Switching of the phototransistor occurs whenever an
opaque object passes through the slot.
The OPB817Z has an 0.86” (21.844 mm) deep slot allowing for a longer reach of the optical center line from the
mounting plane. The phototransistor internal apertures are 0.10” x 0.06” (0.25 mm x 1.52 mm) on the sensor side
(“S”) and 0.05” x 0.06” (1.27 mm x 1.52 mm) on the emitter side (“E”).
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
