The slotted optical sensors provide flexibility of a custom device from a standard product line. Built from a standard housing with a 0.125" (3.18mm) wide slot, users can specify output logic state, output driver circuit, aperture width, aperture surface, and mounting tab locations. Options include wire or PCB leads for electrical interface flexibility. The device body is opaque plastic to minimize sensitivity to visible and near-infrared external light. Aperture width choices provide different optical resolution for motion sensing. Covered apertures offer dust protection, while open apertures provide maximum protection against external light. Phototransistor sensors include OPB360, OPB370, OPB380, OPB390, OPB859, OPB860, OPB870, OPB880, OPB890; OPB355 uses a photodiode detector with lower linear output-versus-light. Wide electrical output current ranges are available with near-infrared LED emissions (850-940nm). Custom electrical, wire, and cabling services are available.
