Description
The OPB690 consists of an NPN phototransistor and an infrared emitting diode in a molded plastic housing. The phototransistor has an enhanced low current roll-off which improves contrast ratio and immunity to background irradiance. A lever arm actuated flag interrupts the light beam, switching the transistor output between states that can readily drive logic gates.
This switch is designed to easily snap mount into a 0.037" ± 0.001" (0.94 mm) thick material with a rectangular opening of 0.320" ± 0.003" x 0.472" (8.13 mm x 11.99 mm) minimum. Insertion into the punched side of metal is recommended.
Customized lever arms and spring torques can be designed for specific applications.
