Sharp Microelectronics GP1S196HCPSF Transmissive Photointerrupter Sensor, 1.1 mm Gap, 0.3 mm Slit, Phototransistor Output, Surface-Mount (SMT)
The Sharp Microelectronics GP1S196HCPSF is a transmissive photointerrupter module with phototransistor output, designed for precise non-contact object detection in space-constrained applications. Its ultra-compact SMT package integrates an IR emitter and detector with a 1.1 mm sensing gap and 0.3 mm slit for high-resolution sensing, compatible with standard 3.3V/5V logic systems.
Features
- Transmissive type with phototransistor output for digital object detection.
- Ultra-compact surface-mount package (3.1 x 2.0 x 2.7 mm) for high-density PCB designs.
- Precise 1.1 mm sensing gap with a 0.3 mm detector slit for accurate edge detection.
- Wide operating temperature range from -25°C to +85°C for industrial reliability.
- RoHS compliant construction with molded, precisely aligned emitter/detector optics.

The GP1S196HCPSF is a transmissive photointerrupter where an infrared LED emitter and a phototransistor detector are housed in a single, opposing U-shaped package. An object passing through the 1.1 mm gap interrupts the IR beam, causing the phototransistor output to switch states, providing a clean digital signal for position, speed, or end-stop detection.
Engineered with advanced transfer molding, the module ensures precise optical alignment and long-term stability. Its low-profile, surface-mount design is optimized for automated assembly and withstands a broad industrial temperature range, making it suitable for integration into printers, encoders, automated machinery, and consumer electronics where reliable, non-contact sensing is critical.
