OPB826 OPB822
Each OPB822 and OPB826 slotted switch consists of two infrared emitting diodes and two
NPN silicon photo
transistors mounted on opposite sides of a 0.090” (2.29 mm) wide slot (OPB822) or a 0.100” (2.54 mm) wide slot (OPB826).
OPB822 uses an side-by-side mounting configuration, while OPB826 uses an over/under mounting configuration. OPB822S has 0.01” by 0.04” (0.25 mm x 1.02 mm) apertures in front of both photo
transistors while the OPB822SD has the aperture in front of both photo
transistors and both emitters. The OPB826S has 0.04” by 0.04” (1.02 mm x 1.02 mm) apertures in front of both photo
transistors while the OPB826SD has the aperture in front of both photo
transistors and both emitters.
Dual channels enable direction of travel sensing, with the low-cost plastic housin...
