OPB826
OPB822
Description:
Each OPB822 and OPB826 slotted switch consist s of two infrared emitting diodes and two NPN silicon
phototransistors m ounted on opposite sides of a 0.090” (2.29 mm) wide slot (OPB822) or a 0.100” (2.54 mm) wide
slot (OPB826).
OPB822 uses an side-by-side mounting configuration, while OPB826 uses an over/under mounting configuration.
OPB822S has 0.01” by 0.04” (0.25 mm x 1.02 mm) apertures in front of both phototransistors while the
OPB822SD has the aperture in front of both phototransistors and both emitters. The OPB826S has 0.04” by
0.04” (1.02 mm x 1.02 mm) apertures in front of both phototransistors while the OPB826SD has the apert ure in
front of both phototransistors and both emitters.
Dual channels enable direction of travel sensing, with the low-cost plastic housing reduces possible interference
from ambient light and provides protection from dust and dirt.
Phototransistor switching occurs when a n opaque object passes through the device slot.

To avoid stress cracking, we suggest using
ND Industries’ Vibra-Tite for thread-locking.
Vibra-Tite evaporates fast without causing structural
failure in OPTEK’s molded plastics.

Notes:
(1) RMA flux is recommended. Duration can be extended to 10 seconds maximum when flow soldering.
(2) Derate linearly 1.67 mW/°C above 25° C.
(3) Methanol or isopropanol are recommended as cleaning agents. Plastic housing is soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons
and ketones. Spray and wipe; do not submerge.
(4) Derate linearly 3.33 mW/°C above 25° C.
(5) All parameters tested using pulse techniques.
(6) Feature controlled at body.
