ISTS149, ISTS703A, ISTS708
REFLECTIVE OPTICAL
SWITCHES
DESCRIPTION
The ISTS149, ISTS703A, ISTS708 each consist
of an infrared emitting diode and a NPN silicon
photo transistor mounted side by side on
converging axes in a polycarbonate housing. The
package is designed to optimise the mechanical
resolution, coupling efficiency, ambient light
rejection, cost and reliability.The phototransistor
responds to radiation from the emitter only when
a reflective object passes within its field of view
FEATURES
l Phototransistor output
l Opaque housing provides improved
visible light rejection
l Three available package types
l Adjustable side-mounting provision
l Also available with flying leads, with or
without connector, supplied as required
APPLICATIONS
l Copiers, Printers, Facsimilies, Record
Players, Casette Decks, Optoelectronic
Switches, VCR's,
