Description:

The OPB815 consists of an infrared Light Emitting Diode (LED) and an NPN silicon phototransistor mounted in a low-cost plastic housing. The device is designed to switch electrical states when an opaque object is passed through the slot. The slot is wider and deeper than many slotted switches and will accommodate a variety of different materials.

This device can be ordered with PCBoard solderable leads or with 26 AWG stranded, UL rated wire lengths from 6” (152 mm) to 24” (610 mm) and terminated with a variety of industry standard connectors. The result is an off-the-shelf sensor assembly tailored to the specific application’s mechanical and electrical requirements.

Features:

• Wide slot width: 0.375” (9.5 mm)

• Deep slot depth: 0.430” (10.9 mm)

• Selectable wire lengths from 6” (152mm) to 24” (610 mm)

• Seven popular connector options

Applications:

• Non-contact object sensing

• Assembly line automation

• Machine automation

• Equipment security

• Machine safety
