■ Description

GP1S59J0000F is a standard, phototransistor output, transmissive photointerrupter with opposing emitter and detector in a case, providing non-contact sensing. For this family of devices, the emitter and detector are inserted in a case, resulting in a through-hole design.

This device is unique because it has a horizontal slit and a position pin to insure accurate placement on the PCB and prevent miss-orientation.

■ Features

1. Transmissive with phototransistor output

2. Highlights :

• Horizontal Slit for alternate motion detection

• Positioning Pin to prevent misalignment

3. Key Parameters :

• Gap Width : 4.2mm

• Slit Width (detector side): 0.5mm

• Package : 13.5×9.3×5.2mm

4. Lead free and RoHS directive compliant

■ Applications

1. General purpose detection of object presence or motion.

2. Example : Printer, FAX, Optical storage unit
