Product Overview

OPB100-EZ is an infrared LED emitter from the OPB10Z series by TT Electronics. It forms an optical emitter and sensor pair with a silicon phototransistor sensor (such as OPB100-SZ). Featuring a low-cost snap-in design, it requires no screws or other mounting hardware for easy installation, suitable for various general switching and low-speed data communication scenarios.

Key Features

• Infrared Emission Function：As an infrared LED emitter, it has a peak wavelength of 880nm, capable of stably emitting infrared signals to meet the signal source requirements of non-contact sensing.
• Convenient Installation Design：Adopts a snap-in mounting design, which can be directly fixed on 0.059 inches (1.50mm) thick materials without additional hardware, simplifying the installation process.
• Ultra-Long Sensing Distance：Supports variable sensing distances over 36 inches (91.4cm) without precise alignment, suitable for large-space sensing scenarios.
• Slim Package Structure：Features a low-profile package, ideal for devices with limited installation space, occupying little room.
• Long Cable Configuration：Equipped with 24-inch (61.0cm) 26 AWG wire leads, facilitating long-distance connection and wiring.

Technical Specifications

Typical Applications

• In assembly line automation, OPB100-EZ can serve as an infrared signal emitter, cooperating with sensors to realize non-contact object sensing. By detecting the reflection or occlusion of infrared signals by objects, it accurately judges the position of workpieces, helping the production line achieve automated material detection and sorting. Its ultra-long sensing distance and no need for precise alignment can adapt to the detection needs of workpieces of different specifications.
• In machine safety systems, the emitter can be used for non-contact interruptive sensing. When an object enters a dangerous area, it blocks the infrared signal, triggering a sensor response to promptly issue a safety alarm or stop the machine operation, ensuring the safety of operators. The low-profile package and convenient installation feature enable it to be flexibly integrated into various machine equipment.

Why Choose OPB100-EZ？

• Efficient Installation：The snap-in design eliminates the need for screws, significantly reducing installation time and lowering equipment assembly costs.
• Strong Adaptability：Ultra-long sensing distance and no need for precise alignment reduce restrictions on installation space and position, suitable for various sensing scenarios.
• Stable Performance：Wide temperature operating range and standardized electrical parameters ensure stable infrared signal emission in different environments, guaranteeing the reliability of sensing systems.
• Cost Advantage：Low-cost design meets basic sensing needs while reducing the component procurement cost of the overall equipment.
• Flexible Wiring：24-inch long cables support long-distance connections, simplifying the wiring design inside or outside the equipment.
