Original Press Release:
EVERLIGHT Electronics Introduces a Highly Reliable, Compact Optical Switch for Office Equipment and Non-contact Switching Applications
The new reflective type opto interrupter ITR1201 integrates an infrared emitter and a silicon phototransistor in a plastic double molding housing
Shulin, New Taipei City – EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. [TSE:2393, a leading player in the global LED and optoelectronics industry, introduces a new member of its ITR series of reflective sensors for use in printers, copiers, scanners and for non-contact switching environments like a proximity sensor.
The reflective type opto interrupter ITR1201SR10A/TR is a light reflection switch which includes a GaAs IR-LED and an NPN phototransistor with a highly photosensitive receiver for short distances, operating in the infrared range. Other key features are a fast response time, a very stable collector current, a cut-off visible wavelength of below 700 nm and an improved MSL (moisture sensitivity level) from level 4 to 3.
A characteristic of EVERLIGHT's ITR product range is the double molding manufacturing process. Compared to the traditional glue dispense manufacturing process, double molding results in a smoother surface which not only enhances the look but also raises the reliability. A flat profile of only 1.5 mm makes the new ITR1201 is even more compact.
EVERLIGHT's reflective and transmissive optical ICs of the ITR family are Pb-free and RoHS compliant.
