OPB380P55Z

Optical sensors are devices used to measure the intensity of light in a given area or of a specific wavelength. Photointerrupters are devices used for detecting the presence of an object across a defined axis, and are used in industrial automation to detect the movement of a part. The OPB380P55Z Slot Type Transistor Output Photointerrupter is a device that uses a light source and phototransistor to detect the presence of an object across a defined axis.When an object passes across this defined axis, the amount of light received by the phototransistor will change, and an output signal will be generated, which can be used to detect and control the passage of the object.The OPB380P55Z is a compact slot type photointerrupter that features a relatively high output current and is ideal for a variety of applications, including industrial automation, motion control, and optical feedback. The device uses a highly sensitive phototransistor mounted opposite a pulsing infrared LED in an isolated slot.The device offers high output current (up to 100mA) and can be operated over a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). It is also designed to withstand high temperatures, and is compliant with the RoHS Directive.The OPB380P55Z has a number of features that make it suitable for a variety of applications. It is a low cost, low power device, and can be used in a variety of applications such as security/access control, industrial automation, machine vision, and motion control. It offers a fast response time, a wide temperature range, and a wide dynamic current range.The device is easy to use and can be monitored and controlled over long distances using radio frequency technology. The OPB380P55Z is also capable of detecting objects of various sizes and shapes, making it ideal for applications where precision is required.The working principle of the OPB380P55Z is relatively simple. When an object passes across the defined axis, the amount of light reaching the phototransistor is reduced, and an output signal is generated. The output signal can then be used to detect and monitor the presence of the object.The OPB380P55Z is a slot type photointerrupter that is ideal for a variety of applications, including optical feedback, motion control, industrial automation, and access control. The device features a highly sensitive phototransistor and can be used in a wide variety of temperatures and dynamic current ranges. It is relatively low cost, easy to use, and capable of detecting objects of various shapes and sizes.
