Features:
• 890 nm in frar ed LE D emitt er
• Silicon phototransistor sensor
• Snap-in mounting
• Variable sensin g distance over 36” ( 91.4 cm)
• Low profile p ackage
• 24” (61.0 c m) wire l eads
Description:
The OPB100 series consists of an infrared LED (OPB100EZ) and phototransistor (OPB100SZ) in separate
plastic housings. The low cost, snap-in design requires no screws or other mounting hardware for ease of
installation.
The emitter and sensor are not aperture d, which allows separation distance s in excess of 36 ” (9 1.4 cm) without
concern for precise alignment. The front side clip allows mounting of the product to any 0.062” (1.57 mm) thick
material.
This product is designed for general switching and low-speed data communications applications.
