Request InfoOptek Technology, Industrial Sensing & ControlCARROLLTON, Texas, Feb. 11, 2009 – Optek Technology has released a reflective object sensor in a miniature surface mount package for non-contact sensing of reflective objects. The OPB733TR device uses a lensed infrared LED and phototransistor elements to collimate the light beam to give it an optimizing detection range from 10 to 25.4 mm and a minimum output current of 100 mA that eliminates the need for external amplification of the output signal. It also delivers a peak emission wavelength of 890 nm, a output on-state collector current of 0.1 mA at 12.7 mm from the target and a 20 mA forward current and VCE of 5 V.
