OPB983T51

Optical Sensors are essential electrical components which allow machines to sense their environment and detect changes or anomalies. A Photointerrupter (PI) is a type of optical sensor that works by interrupting a beam of light using an object or an obstacle. PI’s are used in a wide array of applications, from the simple detection of passing objects to high-speed motion sensing. The OPB983T51 is a Slot Type Photointerrupter with a Logic Output, which is designed for a variety of different applications.

The OPB983T51 is designed for use in a variety of industries, ranging from consumer electronics, automotive and medical, to industrial, security and surveillance applications. It is a wide-pitch output photointerrupter that uses a light-emitting diode (LED) and a light-sensitive transistor in an encased plastic housing. The OPB983T51 has a wide variety of application fields, such as small object detection, counter application, motion control, printer control and automotive instrument paneling.

In terms of its working principle, the OPB983T51 acts as a light-activated switch that is triggered when an opaque object passes through its slot.
