Photosensors can’t squint to “see” better, so if you’re pushing your position, motion, or proximity sensors to their limits, you need a better emitter. TT Electronics’ OP207CL offers an industry-leading 7 millimeter spot diameter for super-reliable optical sensing and position encoder applications. The emitter has a total radiated power up to 10 milliwatts and an integral collimating lens that provides a 2.25 degree angle of half-intensity, resulting in extremely efficient optical flux coupling onto the receiving photosensor for clear on/off transitions.
The OP207CL is ideal for space-constrained designs as it’s mounted on a surface-mountable 9.9 by 9.9 millimeter PCB substrate with a height of just 6.3 millimeters. The emitters can be used at temperatures up to 105 degrees Celsius and can withstand the demanding environments of industrial automation, safety systems, robotics, security detectors, and other applications that require dependable sensing.
