Vishay VCNT Series Reflective Optical Sensors
Vishay VCNT Series Reflective Optical Sensors provide a miniature SMD package that offers advanced reflective sensing capabilities. The VCNT optical sensors integrate the light emitter and detector in one plane, maximizing space efficiency for easy system integration. VCNT2030 emitter uses a Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) chip technology with high radiant intensity, optical power, and speed. These optical sensors operate at an infrared wavelength of 940nm and a temperature range from -40°C to +110°C. VCNT optical sensors are suitable for various applications, including object detection, optical encoders, optical switches, and position sensors.
