TT Electronics:
SURFACE MOUNT PHOTOTRANSISTORS
Wednesday, May 07, 2008
Providing design engineers with a family of infrared
detectors with a variety of viewing angles, TT electronics OPTEK Technology has expanded its
line of surface mount phototransistors. The infrared photodetector product line includes both
silicon phototransistor and photodarlington outputs that provide fast response times and high
photo sensitivity for automatic mounting and position sensing equipment.
“OPTEK’s phototransistors are available in miniature surface mount packages for
customers who need devices that can operate in space-constrained applications,” said Alan
Bennett, vice president of sales and marketing for OPTEK Technology. “Our phototransistors are
suitable for applications that require low light signals including non-contact position sensing,
datum detection, machine automation, and optical encoding.”
