OPB370P11

Optical sensors are used for a variety of applications where precise measurements and control are essential. The OPB370P11 Transistor Output Photointerrupter is a Slot Type device that has been designed for use in domestic, commercial, industrial and automotive environments, where they can be used to detect the presence of objects, and to monitor the position and motion of objects.

The OPB370P11 has a built-in light detector which has excellent linearity and repeatability, with a response time of less than 10ms. It also has a wide dynamic range and a wide operating temperature range, making it ideal for use in industrial and automotive environments. The OPB370P11 utilizes a specialized infrared LED optical system that produces a signal when an object moves in front of it. The signal produced is a transistor output which can be used to trigger a variety of actions.

The OPB370P11\'s working principle is based on the Photoelectric effect. This effect occurs when light of sufficient energy interacts with certain materials. When the light beam is broken due to the introduction of an object, the photoelectric effect is initiated and an electrical signal is created which is then amplified and transmitted by the opto-isolated transistor.

The OPB370P11 is ideally suited for applications where precise and reliable detection of objects is required. Typical applications include safety systems, continuous speed control for motors, identification systems, automation, industrial production control, medical equipment control, and consumer electronics.
