PM-K44-C3

PM-K44-C3 is an optical sensor in the Photointerrupters series. It is a Slot Type Transistor Output sensor, which means it is designed to measure the interruption of a beam of light. It works by using an LED emitter and a photo-transistor as the input. The LED emitter sends out a beam of light which is then picked up by the photo-transistor.

When something interrupts the beam of light, the photo-transistor recognizes this interruption and sends an output signal to the system, which can be used to trigger a response or take action. This makes it ideal for applications where fast reaction times are needed. It also has a wide operating temperature range and is capable of operating in extreme environmental conditions.

PM-K44-C3 is commonly used in industrial automation, building automation, gaming applications, and automotive applications to detect the presence of objects. It is also used in safety systems to detect heat, smoke, and pressure changes. The wide operating range makes it suitable for a variety of applications. This range includes low-speed applications, where the light is often interrupted for a short period of time, as well as high-speed applications, where light is only interrupted for a few milliseconds.

The PM-K44-C3 is a compact optical sensor, measuring only 17.2mm² in size and has a low-cost design. It operates on 5V DC and can be easily integrated into existing systems. It has a high SNR (signal-to-noise ratio), so it can detect small changes and the detection points are adjustable. The response time is quick, allowing for rapid reaction to changes in environment or situation.

PM-K44-C3 has a long life span and is highly reliable in all weather conditions. It is also designed to be highly resistant to electromagnetic interference. It has either an open-collector or a normally closed type output. It can be triggered by either an analog or digital input and is extremely easy to install and configure. All of these features make the PM-K44-C3 a great choice for applications that require a reliable optical sensor.
