Reflective Sensor distinguishes degrees of color.

Color Sensor Assembly combines white LED with reflective color sensor chip in miniature plastic housing. Self-correcting LED illuminates surface of object or liquid being sensed, while sensor chip measures hue, saturation, and luminance values of light reflected from surface. Assembly housing is 1.08 x 0.675 x 0.26 in. with 18 in. wiring harness. Applications include pill sorting, ink and/or...

Contactless Fluid Sensor works with tubes up to 0.25 in. OD.

Infrared optoelectronic sensors in OPB350 Series use IR LED/phototransistor pair to determine difference in refractive properties between full and empty tubing as it passes through housing. Able to accommodate clear tubing with ODs of 0.125, 0.187, and 0.25 in., products have plastic housing that features connection mechanism to PCB. Sensor creates output signal that can describe multiple output...

Slotted Optical Switch performs non-contact object sensing.

Series OPB200 is packaged in opaque injection-molded polyester, minimizing assembly's sensitivity to ambient visible light and near-infrared radiation. During operation, output phototransistor switches from ON state to OFF state when opaque object is inserted into gap between emitter and sensor. Slotted housing features .200 in. gap and 0.320 in. slot depth. Phototransistor's collector-emitter...
