Deep Gap Slotted Switch with Wire and
Connector Options
OPB815L, OPB815WZ Series
Features:
• Wide slot width: 0.375” (9.5 mm)
• Deep slot depth: 0.430” (10.9 mm)
• Selectable wire lengths from 24” (610 mm)
• Seven popular connector options
Description:
The OPB815 consists of an infrared Light Emitting Diode (LED) and an NPN silicon phototransistor mounted in a low-cost
plastic housing. The device is designed to switch electrical states when an opaque object is passed through the slot. The slot
is wider and deeper than many slotted switches and will accommodate a variety of different materials.
This device can be ordered with PCBoard solderable leads (OPB815L) or with 26 AWG stranded, UL rated wire length of
24” [610 mm] (OPB815WZ).
Custom electrical, wire and cabling and connectors are available. Contact your local representative or OPTEK for more
