Description:

Each OPB615, OPB625 and OPB665 series slotted optical switch consists of an 890 nm, infrared Light Emitting Diode (LED) and a monolithic integrated circuit that incorporates a photodiode, a linear amplifier and a Schmitt trigger on a single silicon chip.

All devices in this series exhibit performance over supply voltages ranging from 4.5 V to 16.0 V, and may be specified as Buffered or Inverted with 10 kW Pull-up or Open Collector output. Devices are also TTI/LST TL compatible and can drive up to 10 TTL loads.

Custom electrical, wire and cabling and connectors are available. Contact your local representative or OPTEK for more information.

Applications:

• Mechanical switch replacement

• Speed indication (tachometer)

• Mechanical limit indication

• Edge sensing
