Description:
The
OPB120
through
OPB123
devices consist of an infrared emitting diode and a Photologic sensor (which is a
monolithic integrated circuit that incorporates a linear amplifier and a Schmitt Trigger). The
OPB120
series have
an LED and Photologic sensor mounted on opposite sides of a 0.080” (2.03 mm) wide gap of an opaque
housing. The OPB12_A series have a molded 0.040” (1.02 mm) wide apertures located over both the emitter and
the Photologic sensor. The OPB12_B seriesseries have a molded 0.040” (1.016 mm) wide apertures located
over the emitter and 0.010” (0.254 mm) over the Photologic sensor. All devices in this series have the added
stability utilizing hysteresis built into the amplification circuitry.
The electrical output can be specified as either buffered Totem-Pole
(OPB 120A, OPB120B)
, buffered Open-
Collector
(OPB121A, OPB121B)
,
Inverted Totem-Pole
(OPB122A, OPB122B)
,
or Inverted Open-Collector
(OPB123A, OPB123B)
.
Custom electrical, wire and cabling and connectors are available. Contact your local representative or OPTEK for
