## Slotted Optical Switch 

## OPB610, OPB611, OPB620, OPB621 

## **Features:** 

- Non-contact switching 

- Printed circuit board mounting 

- Enhanced signal to noise ratio 

- PIN photodiode sensor for high speed (OPB611, OPB621) 

- Lead centers:  0.275: (OPB61_) / 0.320” (OPB62_) 

## **Description:** 

The **OPB610** and **OPB620** slotted optical switches consist of an infrared emitting diode and an NPN silicon phototransistor with an enhanced low current roll-off to improve contrast ratio and immunity to background irradiance. 

The **OPB611, OPB621** slotted optical switch consists of an infrared emitting diode and a PIN photodiode with a polysulfone housing that is opaque to visible light, but transmissive to infrared.  The low tr/tf of the PIN photodiode is ideal for highspeed operation.  The sensitivity to ambient radiation is minimized.

Notes: 

(1) RMA flux is recommended.  Duration can be extended to 10 seconds maximum when flow soldering.  A maximum of 20 grams force may be applied to leads when soldering. (2) Derate linearly 1.33 mW/°C above 25 ° C. 

(3) Derate linearly 2.0 mW/°C above 25 ° C. 

(4) Plastic body is soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons and keytones. It is recommended that a trial exposure to flux & cleaning chemicals is performed to ensure sensor is not damaged.
