OPB829Z
Description:
Each
OPB827, OPB828
and
OPB829
device consists of an infrared emitting diode (LED, 890 nm center
wavelength) and a NPN silicon phototransistor, mounted on opposite sides of a 0.125” (3.18 mm) wide slot in a
low-cost black plastic housing. A variety of aperture sizes are offered (see chart below). The
OPB927
and
OPB828
are designed for PCBoard mounting with a minimum lead length of 0.35” (8.9 mm) while the
OPB829Z
(wire version) has 24-inch 26 AWG wire leads. Phototransistor switching occurs when an opaque object passes
through the slot.
The
OPB827
is offered with 0.305” (7.75 mm) and the
OPB828
is offered with 0.220” (5.59 mm) lead spacing for
PCBoard mounting. The
OPB829Z
has 24” (61 cm) 26 AWG wire leads for remote mounting.
Custom electrical, wire and cabling and connectors are available. Contact your local representative or OPTEK for
more information.

To avoid stress cracking, we suggest using
ND Industries’
Vibra-Tite
for thread-locking.
Vibra-Tite
evaporates fast without causing structural
failure in OPTEK’s molded plastics.
