NTE3102
Photon Coupled Interrupter Module
NPN Transistor
Description:
The NTE3102 Interrupter Module is a single channel switch consisting of a gallium arsenide infrared
emitting diode and an NPN silicon photo transistor mounted in a polycarbonate housing. The package
is designed to optimize the mechanical resolution, coupling efficiency, ambient light rejection, cost,
and reliability. Operating on the principle that objects opaque to infrared will interrupt the transmission
of light between an infrared emitting diode and a photo sensor switching the output from an “ON” into
an “OFF” state.
Features:
D High Gain
D 3mm Gap Between LED and Detector
D Polycarbonite case Protected Against Ambient Light
Applications:
D Copiers, Printers, Facsimilies, Record Players, Cassette Decks, Optoelectronic Switches
Absolute Maximum Ratings: (TA = +255C unless otherwise specified)
