De scrip tion
The OPB817 consists of an infrared
emitting diode and an NPN silicon
phototransistor mounted in an opaque
housing with clear windows for dust
protection. The extended deep slot
allows for a longer reach of the optical
center line from the mounting plane, .90”
(22.86 mm).
Internal apertures are .010” x 0.06” for
the phototransistor “ S side” and .050” x
.06” for the LED “ E side” .
Custom electrical, wire or cabling is
