Malvern, Pa. — A new reflective optical sensor from Vishay Intertechnology is capable of detecting objects at operating distances of up to 40 mm. The new surface-mount TCND5000 reflective sensor also ...

Operating at distances from 2 mm to 40 mm, the 6 mm x 3.76 mm x 3.9 mm, surface-mount TCND5000 reflective optical sensor integrates an IR emitter and PIN photodiode in a single package. The device is ...

The Optoelectronics group of Vishay Intertechnology has introduced a new AEC-Q101 qualified reflective optical sensor for automotive, smart home, industrial, and office applications. Offering a lower ...

When you’re designing miniature optical switches, reflective sensors are your best friend. They streamline the interaction between humans and machines in an elegant and intuitive manner. These sensors ...

Capable of effective operation in sunlight with intensities up to 200 kLux, the TCND3000 surface-mount, reflective optical sensor integrates touch and proximity functions and operates with an E909.01 ...

Figure 1a shows a slotted optical switch. An LED is mounted in a plastic housing, facing a phototransistor, but separated by a gap. If something moves into the gap, it blocks the light path between ...

What's behind the target can make a tremendous difference in how well reflective sensors do their job. Consider a photoelectric sensor operating in simple diffused mode (i.e., as a proximity sensor).
