Deep Gap Slotted Switch with
Wire and Connector Options
OPB815L, OPB815WZ Series
L Package
Features:
•
Wide slot width: 0.375” (9.5 mm)
•
Deep slot depth: 0.430” (10.9 mm)
WZ Package
Description:
The
OPB815
consists of an infrared Light Emi ng Diode (LED) and an NPN silicon phototransistor mounted in a low-cost
plas c housing. The device is designed to switch electrical states when an opaque object is passed through the slot. The
slot is wider and deeper than many slo ed switches and will accommodate a variety of different materials.
This device can be ordered with PCBoard solderable leads (OPB815L) or with 26 AWG stranded, UL rated wire length of
24” [610 mm] (OPB815WZ).
Custom electrical, wire and cabling and connectors are available. Contact your local representa ve or OPTEK for more
informa on.
