OPB852A1-3 Datasheet Slotted Optical Switch

Manufacturer: TT Electronics

General Description

: Slotted optical switches in the OPB852, and OPB853 series consist of an infrared emitting diode and a NPN silicon phototransistor or photodarlington, mounted on opposite sides of a 0.125” (3.175 mm) wide slot.

The OPB852A, OPB852B and OPB852C have phototransistor output, while the OPB853A, OPB853B and OPB853C have photodarlington output.

On each of these devices, the emitter has a molded-in aperture of 0.050” x 0.050” (1.270 mm x 1.270 mm) and the phototransistor (OPB852) or photodarlington (OPB853) has a molded-in aperture of 0.010” x 0.050” (0.254 mm x 1.270 mm).
