Optical sensors, or photodetectors as they are often referred to, have been around for many decades. Photointerrupters, a subset of optical sensors, is a type of optical transceiver that uses a light source to detect an interruption in a beam of light. Slot type photointerrupters are specifically designed to detect interrupters in the form of slots or openings. RPI-0352E is an example of a slot type photointerrupter and its application field and working principle is discussed in this article.

RPI-0352E Application Field

RPI-0352E is a slot type photointerrupter with a transistor output. Generally, slot type photointerrupters are used where space is limited and a discreet switch is needed. They are used in applications such as counting, positioning, motion control, and print registration. They are also used in home and industrial appliances such as relays, motors, and other switching functions. Additionally, they can be used for safely detecting interlock switches and when used in automatic doors, and it can detect when an object is in the doorway.

RPI-0352E Working Principle

RPI-0352E uses the emitter-detector-coupling method to detect slots or openings in the material. The main components of the RPI-0352E are a gallium arsenic (GaAs) infrared LED, a slot that acts as the emitter and a photo-resistor. The light source is the gallium arsenide (GaAs) infrared LED, which emits infrared light when energized. This light passes through the slot and is detected by the photo-resistor. When an object interrupts the light beam, the output of the photo-resistor changes, which triggers the transistor to switch on or off. Depending on the state of the transistor, the device will either output a high or low voltage signal.

Conclusion

The RPI-0352E is a slot type photointerrupter with a transistor output. It is mainly used in applications where space is limited and a discreet switch is needed. It uses the emitter-detector-coupling method to detect slots or openings in the material. When a slot is detected, it triggers the transistor to switch on or off, resulting in either a high or low voltage output signal. This concludes the discussion of RPI-0352E application field and working principle.
