OPB420BZ - Slotted Optical Switch

Download the OPB420BZ datasheet PDF. This datasheet also covers the OPB420AZ variant, as both devices belong to the same slotted optical switch family and are provided as variant models within a single manufacturer datasheet.

General 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.

Key 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.

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.
