OPB871T55TXV

Optical Sensors are widely used in consumer electronics, such as automation applications, automotive systems, household appliances and gaming consoles. Photointerrupters are a type of optical sensor that consists of an infrared LED transmitter and a phototransistor receiver. The transmitter and receiver are enclosed within a cylindrical or rectangular housing. The OPB871T55TXV is a Slot Type Transistor Output Photointerrupter with a gain ranging from 35 to 75.

The OPB871T55TXV provides an excellent optical coupling between transmitter and receiver. By adjusting the distance between the two components, the gain can be adjusted to match specific application requirements. The OPB871T55TXV features high-speed operation with response times as fast as 100 microseconds. The two-piece construction of the OPB871T55TXV offers greater flexibility when designing applications. The transmitter and receiver can be mounted in a variety of configurations.

The primary application for the OPB871T55TXV is for motor speed control. It is used to detect the presence of an object, such as a motor’s rotor, as it passes through a slot. The object causes the photodetector to detect a decrease in light intensity. This decrease in light intensity triggers the Transistor Output Photointerrupter to switch to its off state. This action turns off the power to the motor, slowing the motor down. The OPB871T55TXV can be used in a variety of other applications, such as counting objects, detecting the presence of an object or detecting the passage of an object.

The OPB871T55TXV is a cost-effective option for applications requiring motor speed control, object counting or presence detection. The small size of the two-piece construction allows for easy integration into existing systems. The high-speed operation of the OPB871T55TXV makes it ideal for applications where a rapid response time is required. The adjustable gain allows the OPB871T55TXV to be used in a variety of applications.

In summary, the OPB871T55TXV is an excellent Transistor Output Photointerrupter for applications requiring motor speed control, object counting or presence detection. The two-piece construction and adjustable gain allow for easy integration and flexibility in a variety of applications. The high speed of operation makes the OPB871T55TXV an ideal solution for applications requiring a fast response time.
