Fort Worth, Texas – January 24, 2019 – TTI, Inc., a leading specialty distributor of electronic components, is now stocking the TCUT1630 and TCUT1800 AEC-Q101 qualified 3 and 4 channel optical sensors from Vishay. These sensors are all targeted for turn and push, absolute and incremental encoding applications.
The triple-channel TCUT1630X01 includes an infrared emitter and three phototransistor detectors located across from each other in a surface-mount package. With a taller dome than previous-generation devices and an additional channel for a vertical push function or indexing tab, the device is ideal for turn and push encoding. The quad-channel TCUT1800X01 includes two infrared emitters and four phototransistor detectors, and can detect up to 16 positions for absolute and incremental encoding.
Both sensors just released can detect motion, speed, and direction. They can be used as position sensors for encoders in high temperature automotive environments, in addition to turn interior knobs, ignition locks, adaptive headlights, and electric power steering (EPS) systems. In industrial applications, these devices are ideal for monitoring gas or water meters and detecting the status of doors, panels, and inserted coins or credit cards.
Compatible with reflow solder processes according to JEDEC-STD-020D, these devices are RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green. Samples and production quantities of the optical sensors are available now, with lead times under 12 weeks for large orders.
The TCUT1630X01 and TCUT1800X01 deliver a typical output current of 1.3 mA and operate at a wavelength of 950 nm. The optical sensors feature a 3 mm gap width and apertures of 0.3 mm, and offer a wide temperature range of -40 °C to +105 °C. With a Moisture Sensitivity Level rating of 1 (MSL1), the TCUT1630X01 and TCUT1800X01 have an unlimited shelf life.
