Malvern, Pa. — A new reflective optical sensor from Vishay Intertechnology is capable of detecting objects at operating distances of up to 40 mm. The new surface-mount TCND5000 reflective sensor also ...
The Optoelectronics group of Vishay Intertechnology has introduced a new AEC-Q101 qualified reflective optical sensor for automotive, smart home, industrial, and office applications. Offering a lower ...
Operating at distances from 2 mm to 40 mm, the 6 mm x 3.76 mm x 3.9 mm, surface-mount TCND5000 reflective optical sensor integrates an IR emitter and PIN photodiode in a single package. The device is ...
Würth Elektronik has revealed two reflective optical sensors. These are simple devices, with an infra-red emitter and a photo-transistor, both facing upwards, but work at an unusual wavelength. “These ...
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has expanded its optoelectronics portfolio with the addition of a miniature plastic housing for the rapid prototyping of reflective presence and proximity sensors. The ...
Figure 1a shows a slotted optical switch. An LED is mounted in a plastic housing, facing a phototransistor, but separated by a gap. If something moves into the gap, it blocks the light path between ...
What's behind the target can make a tremendous difference in how well reflective sensors do their job. Consider a photoelectric sensor operating in simple diffused mode (i.e., as a proximity sensor).
