Description

The Sharp Microelectronics GP1S194HCZ0F operates on a transmissive sensing principle, where an internal infrared LED emitter is aligned with a phototransistor receiver across a precise 1.7 mm air gap. An object passing through this gap interrupts the light beam, causing a corresponding change in the phototransistor’s output current, which can be conditioned into a digital signal.

Built using a combination of transfer and injection molding, this sensor achieves high mechanical precision and stability. Its robust design ensures reliable performance across the extended industrial temperature range, making it suitable for applications subject to environmental variations without compromising sensing accuracy.

Key Features

  • High-precision transmissive photointerrupter with phototransistor output for direct circuit interfacing
  • Engineered with a narrow 1.7 mm gap and 0.3 mm detector slit for exceptional positional accuracy
  • Ultra-low-profile and miniature footprint maximizes PCB space efficiency
  • Constructed with RoHS-compliant materials for environmental safety and global compliance
  • Designed for reliable operation across a broad -25°C to +85°C temperature range
  • Through-hole terminal design provides a secure mechanical and electrical connection
  • Ideal for non-contact sensing in applications requiring miniaturization and repeatability

Applications

  • Paper jam and media detection in printers, copiers, and fax machines
  • Slot detection and position encoding in rotary encoders and motor speed control
  • Object presence sensing in vending machines, automated dispensers, and ticket readers
  • End-of-travel or limit switch replacement in compact robotic assemblies
  • Assembly line part counting and sequencing in miniature automated equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical operating voltage and how do I interface the GP1S194HCZ0F?

The GP1S194HCZ0F is designed to operate with a standard infrared LED forward voltage, typically around 1.2V to 1.5V for the emitter. The phototransistor collector should be connected to your system voltage (commonly 3.3V or 5V) via a current-limiting resistor. The output is an analog current from the phototransistor that varies with light intensity, which can be converted to a voltage or digital signal using a comparator or microcontroller ADC.

How do the 1.7 mm gap and 0.3 mm slit affect the sensor's performance?

The 1.7 mm gap defines the maximum thickness of an object that can physically pass between the emitter and detector. The 0.3 mm slit on the detector side acts as an aperture, increasing the sensor's positional resolution and rejection of ambient light. This combination allows for precise detection of very thin objects, such as paper or plastic films, and provides a Sharp Microelectronics transition in the output signal when an object enters the gap.

Can this sensor be used for speed measurement or encoding?

Yes, the GP1S194HCZ0F is well-suited for incremental speed measurement or simple encoding applications. By placing a slotted disk or a flag on a rotating shaft so that it passes through the sensor gap, the interruptions in the light beam generate a pulse train. The frequency of this pulse train is directly proportional to the rotational speed, which can be measured by a microcontroller or timer circuit to calculate RPM.
