Description

The Sharp Microelectronics GP1S195HCPSF is a transmissive photointerrupter module engineered for reliable, non-contact detection in miniaturized applications. Its design incorporates an infrared emitter and a phototransistor detector arranged face-to-face within a single, molded housing. This configuration creates an internal light path that is interrupted by an object passing through the 1.5mm gap, providing a clean digital output signal.

Manufactured using advanced transfer and injection molding technologies, the module ensures consistent optical alignment and long-term reliability. The precise 0.3mm slit on the detector side enhances signal integrity by reducing ambient light interference. Its low-profile form factor and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for integration into consumer electronics, printer mechanisms, robotic encoders, and automated industrial equipment where space and environmental durability are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output type of the GP1S195HCPSF photointerrupter?

The GP1S195HCPSF provides a phototransistor output. When the internal infrared light path is uninterrupted, the phototransistor is biased on, typically pulling the output low. When an object enters the 1.5mm gap, the light path is blocked, turning the phototransistor off and causing the output state to change. This provides a simple digital signal compatible with microcontroller GPIO pins or logic-level inputs.

What are the key dimensions and mounting considerations for this sensor?

The module has an extremely compact footprint of 3.4mm (L) x 2.0mm (W) x 2.7mm (H). It is designed for surface-mount (SMD) soldering onto a PCB. The critical design parameter is the 1.5mm sensing gap; the object to be detected must pass through this air gap between the emitter and detector windows. Ensure no solder flux or contaminants obscure the optical ports during assembly.

What is the operating temperature range and what applications is it suited for?

This photointerrupter operates from -25°C to +85°C, making it suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial environments. Its small size, reliability, and precise detection make it ideal for embedded applications such as detecting paper jams in office equipment, sensing rotational position in miniature motors or encoders, and providing limit switches in compact robotic joints and automated mechanisms.
