Vishay introduces two AEC-Q101-qualified surface-mount transmissive optical sensors for automotive and industrial applications. Offered in a compact 5.5 mm x 4 mm x 5.7 mm package, Vishay Semiconductor's single-channel TCPT1600X01 and dual-channel TCUT1600X01 feature an increased dome height over previous-generation devices.
- Tall dome design offers more vertical headroom for the code wheel in turn-and-push applications
- Both sensors detect motion and speed
- With dual channels, the TCUT1600x01 can also be used to detect direction in applications such as electronic power steering (ESP) systems
- Devices include an infrared emitter and one or two phototransistor detectors located face-to-face in an SMD package
