Circuit Design Considerations
V
CC
= 5V
Output of the infrared LED in the photo
interrupter decreases approximately
50% after 100,000 hours.
Recommended load resistance (RL) is
40k ~ 120kΩ for the illustrated circuit.

LED COLORS & SPECIFICATIONS
LEDs are an integral
part of the switch and
not available sepa-
rately. The electrical
specifications shown
are determined at a
basic temperature of
25°C.
If the source voltage
exceeds the rated volt-
age, a ballast resistor
is required.
