Optical photointerrupters for precise object detection
Manufacturer: sharp-microelectronics
The **GP1A17 Series** is a highly reliable line of optoelectronic components, specifically designed as reflective photointerrupters. These devices are widely recognized for their precision, compact design, and robust performance in detecting object presence or motion. The GP1A17 Series integrates an infrared LED and a phototransistor in a single package, enabling efficient light emission and detection within a reflective configuration. This design ensures accurate object detection by measuring the reflected light from a target, making it an ideal solution for applications requiring non-contact sensing.
One of the key features of the GP1A17 Series is its compact and durable housing, which is optimized for easy integration into space-constrained designs. The series is engineered to deliver consistent performance across a wide operating temperature range, ensuring reliability in both industrial and consumer environments. The reflective photointerrupters in this series are characterized by their high sensitivity and fast response time, making them suitable for high-speed detection tasks. Additionally, the devices are designed with a built-in daylight blocking filter, which minimizes interference from ambient light, further enhancing their accuracy and reliability.
The GP1A17 Series is particularly well-suited for applications in automation, robotics, and consumer electronics. In industrial settings, these components are commonly used in conveyor belt systems, paper feed mechanisms, and assembly line automation, where precise object detection is critical. In consumer electronics, they are often integrated into printers, copiers, and home appliances to monitor paper movement, detect open/close states, or ensure proper positioning of components. The series is also widely employed in automotive systems, such as gear position sensing and seatbelt detection, where durability and reliability are paramount.
With its combination of compact design, high performance, and versatility, the GP1A17 Series is a trusted choice for engineers and designers seeking reliable optoelectronic solutions. Its ability to operate effectively in diverse environments and applications makes it a cornerstone in the development of modern sensing systems across multiple industries.
