EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS, a leading player in the global LED and optoelectronics industry, introduces a new reflector type photo interruptor. The ITR1502 series can sense an object and give signal response at an exceptionally long distance of 4 mm at a speed of 20 μs, in contrast to a usual distance of 0.5 to 1.0mm. Add to that, EVERLIGHT's cost-effective new ITR1502 has passed MSL3 for moisture sensitive SMD components. Popular ITR applications are paper feed and edge detection in printers as well as motor revolution detection in projectors and other non-contact sensing applications. Other possible fields of use include factory and industrial automation.

EVERLIGHT's ITR1502 is a reflective photo interrupter which consists of an infrared emitting diode and an NPN silicon phototransistor that provides non-contact sensing. The product operates with a standard wavelength of 940nm at VCE=2V and IF=4mA, the maximum current is 450μA. Its unique double molding manufacturing process, combining transfer and injection molding, makes the end product more firm and solid. This compact package device (4.0*3.0*2.0 mm) effectively blocks visible light and minimizes false detection.
