Fort Worth, Texas – October 27, 2020 – TTI, Inc., a leading specialty distributor of electronic components, is now stocking the OPB680 family of Optical Flag Sensors from TT Electronics – Optek. This sensor is targeted for medical, office equipment and industrial process automation applications.
Optek’s OPB680 and OPB680-20 Optical Flag Switch consists of an infrared emitting diode in a molded plastic housing. The phototransistor has an enhanced low current roll-off that improves contrast ratio and immunity to background irradiance. A lever arm-actuated flag interrupts the light beam and switches the output between states that can readily drive logic gates. This can be actuated by passing a paper sheet without damaging the paper’s edge. The OPB680-20 offers increased lever-operating force that prevents false triggering due to incidental contact in door sensing and other heavy-duty applications.
