OPB822
Description:
Each OPB822 and OPB826 sloꢀed switch consists of two infrared emiꢃng diodes and two NPN silicon phototransistors
mounted on opposite sides of a 0.090” (2.29 mm) wide slot (OPB822) or a 0.100” (2.54 mm) wide slot (OPB826).
OPB822 uses an side-by-side mounꢂng conꢁguraꢂon, while OPB826 uses an over/under mounꢂng conꢁguraꢂon.
OPB822S has 0.01” by 0.04” (0.25 mm x 1.02 mm) apertures in front of both phototransistors while the OPB822SD has the
aperture in front of both phototransistors and both emiꢀers. The OPB826S has 0.04” by 0.04” (1.02 mm x 1.02 mm)
apertures in front of both phototransistors while the OPB826SD has the aperture in front of both phototransistors and both
emiꢀers.
Dual channels enable direcꢂon of travel sensing, with the low-cost plasꢂc housing reduces possible interference from
ambient light and provides protecꢂon from dust and dirt.
Phototransistor switching occurs when an opaque object passes through the device slot.
