OPB817Z - Slotted Optical Switch

General 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.

Key Features

  • 0.20” (5.08 mm) wide gap, 0.86” (21.84 mm) deep slot.
  • 24” (609 mm) 26 AWG wires.
  • Dust protection.
  • Two mounting tabs.

Slotted Optical Switch OPB817Z Features:  0.20” (5.08 mm) wide gap, 0.86” (21.84 mm) deep slot  24” (609 mm) 26 AWG wires  Dust protection  Two mounting tabs 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”).
