GP1A073LCS Application Field and Working Principle

Numerous types of optical sensors, such as the GP1A073LCS slot type photointerrupter, are utilized for different applications in many industrial, consumer, automotive, automotive, and entertainment systems. The GP1A073LCS is an advanced, highly reliable, and low-cost optical photointerrupter with a senor slot width of 0.4mm for long-distance sensing. It also features a logic output, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.

Overview of GP1A073LCS Optic Sensor Applications

The GP1A073LCS photointerrupter is capable of detecting a break in a fiber or slot for up to 2 m. It features a 5 mm wide slot, and is designed for long-range sensing applications such as door openings, safety detection, and product authentication. The sensor can also be used for counting and register operations. Additionally, the device is widely used in a variety of applications, such as slot machines, operating machines, and money detections systems, that require the use of an inexpensive and reliable photointerrupter.

GP1A073LCS Optic Sensor Working Principle

The GP1A073LCS photointerrupter utilizes an LED (Light-Emitting Diode) and a Phototransistor. The LED and phototransistor are placed inside the plastic housing of the sensor. The gap between the LED and phototransistor is designed to provide maximum sensitivity. The LED emits modulated light that is detected by the phototransistor. When the light is interrupted, the phototransistor will not receive any signal to the output terminal. This signal, in turn, is converted into a logic level output, providing a crisp, low-power output.

Conclusion

The GP1A073LCS slot type photointerrupter is an ideal solution for a variety of applications, from simple sensing to product authentication. Its long-distance sensing capability and low-power requirement make it a great solution for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, its logic output simplifies OEM design and reduces costs.
