Optical Sensors - Photointerrupters - Slot Type - Transistor Output

PM-U24 is an optical sensor device belonging to photointerrupters slot type category though updates to the newer technology and comes with transistor output. It is usually used for AC load switching because of its faster response time.

Features

The PM-U24 has several features that makes it exceptional amongst other photointerrupters. First, it has a high sensitivity. Its optical-axis emitting distance is 0.65mm, allowing longer distances between it and the object. In addition, the PM-U24 also has a fast response time, which is much faster than other similar products, and can be used for AC load switching. It\'s also firmly in the market, in part because of its long life span with more than one million operating cycles and, last but not least, high waterproof rating of IP67, which is great for outdoor and overall environmental protection.

Application field

PM-U24 is mainly used in automated material supply and collection systems; Automatic vending machines and micro-motor control and other low-current switches.

Working principle

The PN-U24 works by using a photointerrupter to measure the distance between the sensor and the object it is trying to detect. It consists of an LED on the transmitter side and a photosensor on the receiver side. When the LED emits light from the side where the object is placed, the light is detected by the photosensor and a signal is sent to the built-in transistor. This signal is then sent to the rest of the circuit, which will cause the circuit to react in accordance with the signal.

Advantages

The PM-U24 offers several advantages in comparison to other similar products. Firstly, its high sensitivity means that it can measure distances even when placed at a longer distance from the object. This is great for reducing the overall size of the device. Secondly, it\'s fast response time also makes it great at detecting small objects. Finally, the long life span, waterproof rating, and its affordable price make it perfect for a number of different applications.

Conclusion

PM-U24 is an exceptional optical sensor device belonging to the photointerrupter slot type category, that is capable of providing a fast response time, high sensitivity, and many other features that make it useful for a range of applications. Additionally, its price point and long life span make it a great choice for a variety of projects.
