Optical Sensors - Photointerrupters - Slot Type - Transistor Output: EE-SX912P-R 3M

EE-SX912P-R 3M is a type of optical sensor photointerrupter, which is a type of slot type photointerrupter with transistor output from Panasonic Corporation. EE-SX912P-R 3M is a black plastic molded product, featuring a slot type photointerrupter (PF) which includes a transistor output element built into it. This model has a relatively wide gap of 2.5 mm between a pair of central electrodes, enabling it to detect larger objects than some of the other models. It also has a high collection efficiency, meaning that fewer objects escape detection.

As an optical sensor, EE-SX912P-R 3M has several possible applications, including the detection of objects, fluids, and gas particles. It can be useful in robotics, controlling systems, home automation, motor control, and a variety of other fields. It is a simple and reliable device that can measure the size, speed, and position of objects, as well as the rate of fluid flow. It can also monitor changes in pressure to detect when a system is over or under pressurized.

The working principle of EE-SX912P-R 3M is based on light obstructions. It consists of an LED and a phototransistor placed inside its slot type housing. When an object passes through the gap, light from the LED is blocked by the object, and this causes the phototransistor to reduce its current flow. This change in the current flow is detected by a controller or processor, which signals the desired action.

Apart from its wide gap and high collection efficiency, EE-SX912P-R 3M also features a low power consumption of 10 mA as well as a current detection output of 1 mA, making it important for energy conservation. Its low power consumption also makes it compatible with low voltage operation. It also includes an operating temperature range of -25 to +85 °C which makes it well-suited for a variety of environmental conditions. The slot type photointerrupter also has an insulation resistance of 100 MΩ and a dielectric strength of 1000 V which makes it safe for the environment, and the LED has an oscillation frequency of 40 MHz. As EE-SX912P-R 3M is highly reliable, it is ideal for systems and applications that require detection of objects and changes in pressure.

In summary, EE-SX912P-R 3M is a type of slot type photointerrupter with transistor output from Panasonic, which has a wide gap of 2.5 mm for larger objects, high collection efficiency, and low power consumption of 10 mA. It has operating temperature range of -25 to +85 °C, as well as insulation resistance of 100 MΩ and dielectric strength of 1000 V. Its LED has an oscillation frequency of 40 MHz, making it ideal for systems that require the detection of objects, changes in pressure, and other functions. Overall, EE-SX912P-R 3M is a reliable, safe, and energy-efficient product that can provide a variety of solutions for many applications.
