# SLOTTED SWITCH, TRANSISTOR ![Product image](https://novapart.co/image/farnell:2352369/) **URL**: https://novapart.co/products/OPB848/slotted-switch-transistor **SKU**: OPB848 **Manufacturer**: TT ELECTRONICS / OPTEK TECHNOLOGY **Category**: Sensors & Transducers || Sensors || Photo Interrupters || Transmissive Photo Interrupters **Price**: €1.8700 **Stock**: 10+ **Lead Time**: 20 days (indicative) ## Specifications | Parameter | Value | |---|---| | Gap Width | 2.54mm | | Product Range | OPB848 Series | | Sensor Output | Phototransistor | | Aperture Width | 0.635mm | | Forward Voltage | 1.7V | | Sensor Mounting | Through Hole | | Forward Current If | 50mA | | Reverse Voltage Vr | 2V | ## Datasheet 📄 [Download PDF](https://novapart.co/datasheet/farnell:2352369/) ## Slotted Optical Switch ## OPB847, OPB848 ## **Features:** - Non-contact switching - Apertured for high resolution - Hermetically sealed components ## **Description:** The OPB847 and OPB848 consists of a gallium aluminum arsenide LED and a silicon phototransistor, which is soldered into a printed PCBoard and mounted in a high-temperature plastic housing on opposite sides of a 0.100 inch (2.540 mm) wide slot. Both device types have a .025 (0.635mm) inch by .060 inch (1.524 mm) aperture in front of the phototransistor for high resolution positioning sensing. Phototransistor switching takes place when an opaque object passes through the slot. ## **Applications:** - Non-contact interruptive object sensing - Assembly line automation - Machine automation |**Part Number**|**LED Peak**
