Optical sensors are devices that are used for the detection and conversion of light signals into electrical signals. Photointerrupters are a type of optical sensor that utilize the modulation of light energy by a detector to create a detection and control system. One type of photointerrupter of note is the slot type, logic output, which is used in many applications such as robotic systems and automation, audio and video equipment, security and access control, consumer electronics, and medical applications. OPB696CZ is an example of a slot type, logic output photointerrupter.

The OPB696CZ has an active area made up of parallel slots in a single plane. When a light beam from an infrared LED impinges on the active area, the transmitted light is detected by the phototransistor. This creates an electrical output that is then converted into a logic signal for use in the applications mentioned above. As the light beam is shielded from the environment by the slots, the OPB696CZ can still detect the light when there is a presence of dust, water vapor, and other elements. The slots also allow the device to work in a wide range of temperatures, meaning it can be used outdoors in many different climates.

The OPB696CZ can be used in many applications, from basic on/off type switches to more complex systems. When used in a basic on/off switch system, the OPB696CZ senses the presence of light and sends out a logic signal accordingly. This can be used as a security system in which the presence or absence of a light beam is detected, triggering an alarm. In a more complex system, the logic signal may be used to control an automated device or system. For example, the signal can be read and then used to control the speed of a robotic arm, or the direction of a robotic car.

The OPB696CZ also has a simple construction that allows for easy setup and installation. The device features three pins on its surface, two of which connect to an infrared LED source and the other to a phototransistor. Connecting these pins to the power supply causes the device to be active, meaning it can now detect any incoming light signals. The OPB696CZ can also be connected to a microcontroller or a PCB for a direct connection to the controlling system, allowing for fast and easy integration.

The OPB696CZ is ideal for a wide range of applications, from robotic systems and automation, to audio and video equipment, consumer electronics, and medical applications. Its simple construction and high sensitivity make it a great option for projects that require reliable and precise sensing. With its wide temperature range and dust/waterproof design, the OPB696CZ is well suited for more demanding environments as well.
