New And Reliable Non-Contact Reflective Object Sensor

Compact, hermetically sealed and with a wide operating temperature range, the sensort is ideal for industrial automation applications

TT Electronics has announced its new OPB735 series Reflective Object Sensors for the most challenging industrial automation and safety applications. This reflective sensor features hermetically sealed components offering designers a wide operating temperature range of -55 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius to suit almost any factory setting. Designed to produce extremely low cross-talk or noise signal, this product provides users with reliable and consistent performance in even the most challenging applications.

“The sensor’s low-profile design, along with its broad operating temperature range and hermetically sealed components, gives designers an exceptional reflective solution that can be used in multiple places within the same system for maximum effect,” said Walter Brooks, Global Product Line Manager – Optoelectronics at TT Electronics.

Designers can choose between phototransistor or photodarlington output to meet specific needs or parameters; in either option, the detector responds to radiation from the IRED only when a reflective object passes within its field of view.

The OPB735 is encased side-by-side on converging optical axes in a low-cost, black thermoplastic housing. The OPB735XWZ variation includes UL 1569 approved #28 AWG lead wires. Custom electrical, wire cabling and connectors options are also available.
