■Description
GP2A230LRS0F Series are standard, OPIC output,
reflective photointerrupters with emittter and detector
facing the same direction in a molding that provides
non-contact sensing. This family of devices uses light
modulation to reduce the affects of disturbing light, and
the sensor is optimized to work in the selected focal
distance. A 3-pin connector is included to allow remote-
mount or off-board designs.
■Features
1. Refl ective with OPIC Light Modulated Output
2. Highlights :
• Position pin to prevent mis-alignment.
• Snap-mount positioning hooks
(GP2A230LRSAF, GP2A231LRSAF)
• Includes additional screw fi xing holes
(GP2A230LRS0F)
• Short focal distance
3. Key Parameters :
• Detecting distance : 1 to 9mm (White paper)
3 to 7mm (Black paper)
• Undetecting distance : over 27mm (White paper)

■Design Considerations
●Design guide
1) This product operates the light emitter by pulse drive. Please supply the stable supply voltage in order to
prevent error operation by pulse current.
Please use this device after connecting a capacitor between VO and GND for prevention of line noise.
2) Prevention of detection error
Please be careful that you need to keep the direct inverter light away from the photo detecting surface
since the device will not operate correctly in such case.
In addition, we recommend to make sure the operation test in the actual application.
3) Plugging in/out
The connector should be plugged in/out at normal temperature.
This product is not designed against irradiation and incorporates non-coherent IRED.
●Recommended Installation Hole drawing
1) We recommend to fi x the product at punching side on the fi xing plate (metal plate).
2) Please decide the fi nal dimensions at your side after confi rmation by the actual applications, Because
mounting effi ciency and mounted stabilization are dependent on mounting hole corner curve and punched
state.
3) Tolerance shall be ±0.1mm
