EE-SX914-C1J-R 0.3M

Optical Sensors have long been used in a variety of applications as a way to convert light to a detectable electrical signal. Photointerrupters are a type of optical sensor that detects when something blocks an optical beam. The EE-SX914-C1J-R 0.3M is a slot-type, transistor-output photointerrupter designed specifically to detect the presence of a slider card or other type of object moving through an optical slot.

This particular photointerrupter contains three main components. A LED light source, a phototransistor, and an artificial slot structure. The artificial slot structure consists of a blank area within the transparent body and works to limit the sensing area. When the light is blocked by a slotted object, the amount of light reaching the phototransistor is diminished, which in turn affects the amount of current generated by the transistor.

The EE-SX914-C1J-R 0.3M is a highly reliable and versatile photointerrupter that is suitable for use in many applications. It is commonly used for detecting sliders in card readers, sensing presence of broken blades on production line conveyors, and machine position detection. It is also suitable for light curtain, and hand guard applications. The EE-SX914-C1J-R 0.3M offers superior accuracy, high speed response, and a lower profile design than other comparable photointerrupters.

The EE-SX914-C1J-R 0.3M provides quick and accurate response to both black and clear slides. The reaction time is within 1ms on average, making it ideal for high speed sensing applications. The photointerrupter also includes a short circuit protection feature which helps to protect it from the effects of short circuits. The device is also deliberately constructed to be as low profile as possible, making it ideal for applications with tight space constraints such as card readers and hand guards.

In summary, The EE-SX914-C1J-R 0.3M is a reliable, versatile, and highly accurate slot-type, transistor-output photointerrupter. It is suitable for use in a variety of applications including card readers, broken blade sensing, and machine position detection. Additionally, it offers superior accuracy, high speed response, and a low profile design that helps make it an ideal choice for applications with tight space constraints.
