Vishay Reflective Optical Sensors

Vishay Reflective Optical Sensors are designed to detect the presence or absence of objects by emitting light and measuring the amount of light that is reflected. The reflective optical sensors typically consist of an emitter and a receiver in a compact package. These optical sensors offer various features such as high sensitivity, fast response time, and compact designs with emitter wavelengths ranging from 940nm to 950nm. Optical sensors are used in consumer electronics, industrial automation, and optoelectronic encoders.
