ALS-PT17-51C/L177/TR8 Sensors, Transducers

Optical sensors are used in a wide range of applications including surveillance, CCTV, automotive, and industrial automation. The Phototransistor type ALS-PT17-51C/L177/TR8 is a light-sensitive device used to detect the presence of light or infrared radiation. This optical sensor is composed of an integrated phototransistor which is designed to switch on and off in response to changes in the intensity of the light. The phototransistor has a response time of a few milliseconds and operates in the visible to infrared spectrum.

The ALS-PT17-51C/L177/TR8 is a PNP-type phototransistor device that works on the principle of photoconduction. It consists of an N-type semiconductor substrate with an intrinsic base and a conducting collector. The device’s active region is illuminated with a light source, which produces electrons/holes in the layer. These electrons/holes are collected by the collector layer and are used to generate an electric current. The current is then used to switch the device on and off, depending on the intensity of the light used.

The ALS-PT17-51C/L177/TR8 can be used in various applications. It is suitable for use in a number of light-dependent switching circuits such as thyristor, diac, and triac.
