OPB818 Overview
The OPB818 slotted switch consists of an infrared emitting diode and an NPN silicon phototransistor mounted in a low-cost black plastic housing on opposite sides of a 0.200” (5.080 mm) wide slot. Switching of the phototransistor occurs whenever an opaque object passes through the slot. The OPB818 is designed for direct soldering into PCBoards or for mounting in standard dual-in-line sockets and has an 0.25” (6.35...
