Vishay Telefunken
Transmissive Optical Sensor with Phototransistor
Output
Description
These devices have a compact construction where the
emitting-light sources and the detectors are located
face-to-face on the same optical axis. The operating
wavelength is 950 nm.
The detector consists of a phototransistor. Due to the
special construction, the depth of the gap is equal to
a package height of 4 mm.
Applications
D Position sensor for shaft encoder,
D Detection of opaque material such as paper,
IBM cards, magnetic tapes etc.,
D Limit switch for mechanical motions in VCR,
D General purpose – wherever the space is limited
