Description:
The OPB420 series optical switch consists of an infrared emitting diode (LED) and a phototransistor. The LED is
mounted on the tower with the phototransistor mounted on the base of a right angle shape package. The L-Shape
or right angle package configuration allows for an opaque object to block the light beam from a multitude of
directions including the X-axis Y-axis and Z-axis. The optical center line between the emitter and photosensor is
at 45° from the mounting base of the device. The OPB420AZ utilizes a phototransistor with a current output
proportional to the input drive current of the LED. The OPB420BZ utilizes a phototransistor with a base-emitter
resistance (R
that require an enhanced contrast ratio and immunity to background irradiance, such as detection of semi-
transparent media.
Custom electrical, wire and cabling and connectors are available. Contact your local representative or OPTEK for
more information.
