Description

The GP1S092HCPIF utilizes a transmissive optical sensing principle, where an integrated infrared emitter and phototransistor detector are precisely aligned within a single molded housing. This construction, achieved through advanced transfer and injection molding, ensures consistent optical coupling and long-term reliability. The device outputs a logic-level signal that toggles based on the interruption of the infrared beam within the 2 mm gap.

Engineered for industrial durability, the sensor operates across a -30°C to +75°C temperature range and is compliant with RoHS environmental standards. Its surface-mount design and tape-and-reel format are optimized for high-volume manufacturing, providing a reliable solution for non-contact position sensing, end-of-travel detection, and rotary encoder applications in compact electronics.

Key Features

  • High-Precision Sensing: Features a fixed 2 mm optical gap and a 0.3 mm slit for detecting very fine objects or edges with repeatable accuracy.
  • Automated Assembly Optimized: The unique D-shaped positioning pin guarantees correct PCB orientation, eliminating assembly errors in automated SMT lines.
  • Robust Integrated Construction: Single-piece molded housing protects the optical elements from dust and misalignment, enhancing long-term stability.
  • Industrial Temperature Rating: Reliable operation from -30°C to +75°C, suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial environments.
  • RoHS Compliant: Manufactured with environmentally safe materials, meeting global regulatory standards for electronic components.
  • Phototransistor Output: Provides a simple, amplified digital output signal for easy interface with microcontrollers, PLCs, or logic circuits.

Applications

  • Precision Rotary Encoders: Slot disk interruption sensing for motor speed control and angular position feedback in printers and robotics.
  • PCB Assembly Verification: Detection of component presence, cover closure, or tray position in automated manufacturing and test equipment.
  • Media Detection Systems: Sensing paper edge, ticket presence, or ribbon end in point-of-sale terminals, printers, and vending machines.
  • Miniature Limit Switches: Non-contact end-of-travel detection in compact linear actuators, camera modules, and consumer device mechanisms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the sensing gap and slit width of the GP1S092HCPIF?

The sensor has a fixed optical gap of 2 mm between the emitter and detector, with a slit width of 0.3 mm. This configuration allows it to detect very thin objects or precise edges interrupting the infrared beam, making it suitable for high-accuracy position sensing applications.

How does the D-shaped positioning pin aid in assembly?

The integrated D-shaped pin on the sensor housing matches a corresponding D-shaped hole on the PCB footprint. This keyed design prevents rotational misalignment during automated pick-and-place assembly, ensuring the emitter and detector are perfectly oriented for optimal optical performance and reliability.

What is the output signal type and how do I interface with it?

This device features a phototransistor output. When the infrared beam is uninterrupted, the phototransistor is saturated (low output impedance). When an object blocks the beam, the phototransistor turns off. This provides a clean digital signal that can be pulled up to a logic voltage (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) for direct connection to a microcontroller GPIO or logic input.

Is this sensor suitable for high-volume production?

Yes, it is specifically designed for automated manufacturing. It is supplied in standard Tape and Reel packaging containing 2,000 pieces, which is compatible with high-speed SMT pick-and-place machines. Its small footprint and reliable construction make it ideal for cost-effective, high-volume electronic assembly.
