TT Electronics/Optek Technology OPB718Z

The OPB715Z series reflective components consist of a GaALAs LED and a Photologic sensor packaged in an infrared-transmissive housing. The sensor is characterized by its ability to detect paper at 0.5 inches (12.7mm). The sensor has a wide operating distance range, enabling detection of reflective objects at other distances. The reflective distance depends on the reflective material. These devices are designed to replace conventional mechanical limit switches in applications where long service life and reliability are critical. These switches are designed to snap easily into 0.036-inch (0.914mm) thick, 20-gauge material with a rectangular opening of 0.315 inches × 0.472 inches [8.0mm × 12.0mm]. The sensor's panel-mount plastic housing shields against stray light and comes with 18-inch (457mm) UL-recognized 26AWG wire leads. For design convenience, current limiting is integrated internally in the LED. The output can be specified as TTL totem-pole or TTL open-collector. Both output configurations have an inverted output option.
