Transmissive sensors for automotive and industrial applications, in distribution
These compact, surface-mount transmissive optical sensors are qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for automotiveand industrial applications, and feature a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +125 degrees Celsius.
The sensors are housed in a compact 5.5 × 4 × 5.7mm package with a tall 4.5mm dome design for vertical signal encoding. The housing has a deeper channel than previous Vishay transmissive sensors, which enables design engineers to redesign their code wheel to include a push function. Both the single-channel TCPT1600 and the dual-channel TCUT1600 feature a 0.3 mm aperture as well as a 3mm gap width, which allows for looser mechanical tolerances than sensors with smaller gaps. Both sensors offer typical output current of 1.6mA. The TCPT1600 includes a phototransistor detector and a 950nm emitter, while the dual-channel TCUT1600 includes a phototransistor detector and two 950nm emitters.
