Slotted Optical Switch
OPB420AZ, OPB420BZ
Features:
Non-contact switching Right Angle Sensor: LED in tower, photosensor in base Choice of output configuration Optical line can be broken in three axis 24” minimum, 26 AWG UL approved wire leads
Description:
The OPB420 series optical switch consists of an infrared emitting diode (LED) and a phototransistor. The LED is mounted on the tower with the phototransistor mounted on the base of a right angle shape package. The L-Shape or right angle package configuration allows for an opaque object to block the light beam from a multitude of directions including the Xaxis Y-axis and Z-axis. The optical center line between the emitter and photosensor is at 45° from the mounting base of the device.
