Description:
The OPB800L series, PCBoard mounting, of wide gap switch provides the flexibility of a custom device from a
standard product line, while the OPB800W series, remote mounted, switch offers 24” (610 mm) 26 AWG wire
interconnect.
Building from a standard housing that utilizes a 0.375” (9.5 mm) wide slot, a user can specify the electrical output
parameters, discrete shell material and the aperture width.
Housings are made from an opaque grade of injection-molded plastic that minimizes the assembly’s sensitivity to
visible and near-infrared ambient radiation. Discrete shells, which are exposed on parallel faces inside the device
throat, are made of IR transmissive plastic (for applications where aperture contamination may occur) or of opaque
plastic with aperture openings (for maximum protection against ambient light).
Custom electrical, wire and cabling and connectors are available. Contact your local representative or OPTEK for
more information.
Applications:
• Non-contact interruptive object sensing
• Assembly line automation
• Machine automation
• Equipment security
• Machine safety
