OPB973T51

OPB973T51 is a Photologic® slotted optical switch. It provides flexibility in meeting application-specific requirements for the design engineer. Building from a standard housing with a 3.18mm wide slot, the user can specify output logic state, output driver circuit, aperture width, aperture surface and mounting tab locations. The device body is an opaque plastic which minimizes sensitivity to both visible and near-infrared external light sources which may impact operation. A covered aperture provides dust protection, while an open aperture provides maximum protection against external light sources. Applications include speed and direction indication, rotary encoders, mechanical switch replacement, mechanical limit indication, printers - top of form, end of travel, home position, sliding door automotive and lift gate applications.
