Non-contact switching
•
24” wire leads
•
• 1.25” (32 mm) wide slot
• 1.38” (35 mm) deep slot
De scrip tion
The OPB819 consists of an infrared
emitting diode and NPN silicon
phototransistor mounted in a plastic
houising on opposite sides of a 1.25”
(31.75 mm) wide slot. Phototransistor
switching takes place whenever an
opaque object passes through the slot.
Custom electrical, wire or cabling is
available.
Contact your local representative or
Optek for more information.
