OPB460, OPB470, OPB480 and OPB490 Series Slotted Optical Switches This family of Photologic® slotted optical switches, from Optek Technology, offer you various options enabling design flexibility. This flexibility includes choices of slot width, aperture, shell material, mounting configurations and lead spacing, or wires. An opaque plastic housing minimises the sensitivity to visible and near IR light. The parallel faces inside the slot are covered with an IR transmissive plastic or opaque plastic with an opening. The IR transmissive plastic is suitable for applications which require dust protection and the opaque is for applications that require maximum protection against ambient light. Suitable applications for the slotted optical switches include; mechanical switch replacement, speed indication, mechanical limit indication and edge sensing. Features of the slotted optical switches:PCB mounted: OPB460 to OPB47326 AWG wires: OPB480 to OPB493Range of aperturesData rates up to 250 kBLow power consumption

OPB720A and OPB720B Long Range Reflective Switch The OPB720 Series has a logical output that switches from a high level with a reflective target, to a low level with no reflective target. With the addition of hysteresis, the sensor minimises switching oscillations on the output. The sensor distance that can be achieved is very dependent on the type of material used for the target Recognises objects as small as 2mmCan be used in either reflective or interruptive modeAmbient light rejection of TTL/CMOS compatibleCable length: 990mmSize: 27.94 x 8.38 x 17.15mmApplications: conveyer-belt package recognition, personnel movement recognition, near-focus security systems, wash and soap dispensing stations and product dispensing services

OPB100 Series Optical Emitter and Sensor Pairs The OPB100 series, from Optek Technology, consist of optical emitters and sensors. The IR LED and the phototransistor come in separate plastic housings and can be purchased individually or together (OPB100Z). Their snap-in package design enables easy installation without any need for additional mounting hardware. The emitter and sensor do not require precise alignment due to no aperture. They are designed for general switching and low speed data communication applications, for example; non-contact reflective objects, non-contact interruptive sensing, assembly line automation, machine automation and machine safety. OPB100-EZ: IR LEDOPB100-SZ: PhototransistorOPB100Z: Contains both OPB100-EZ and OPB100-SZ

OPI1266 Series High Voltage Isolators The OP1266 high voltage isolator consists of an IR LED and a unique integrated circuit detector. Suitable applications for the OPI1266 include; data transmission for high voltage isolation, PCB power system isolation, industrial equipment power isolation, medical equipment power isolation and office equipment.

OPB960, OPB970, OPB980 and OP990 Photologic Series Slotted Optical Switches This family of Photologic® slotted optical switches, from Optek Technology, include a variety of options from a standard housing. These non-contact slotted optical switches have a range of different slot widths, output logic states, output driver circuits, aperture widths, aperture surfaces and mounting tab locations. There is also a combination of PCB mounted or wire lead options.The device housing is an opaque plastic which reduces sensitivity to both visible and near IR light that could effect operation. The devices with a covered aperture offer protection against dust whilst open aperture offers better protection against ambient light interference.Suitable applications for the OPB960, OPB970, OPB980 and OPB990 slotted optical switches include; speed/direction indication, rotary encoders, mechanical switch replacement, mechanical limit indication, printers and sliding door automotive.
