Sharp Microelectronics GP1S196HCZ0F Transmissive Photointerrupter Sensor, 1.1mm Gap, 0.3mm Slit, Phototransistor Output, Through-Hole
The Sharp Microelectronics GP1S196HCZ0F is an ultra-compact transmissive photointerrupter featuring a 1.1mm detection gap and phototransistor output, designed for precise object detection in space-constrained PCB designs. Its through-hole package is compatible with standard soldering processes for integration into industrial automation, robotics, and consumer electronics.
Features
- Transmissive photointerrupter with integrated IR emitter and phototransistor detector.
- Ultra-compact, low-profile package measuring 3.1mm x 2.0mm x 2.7mm.
- Precise 1.1mm detection gap with a 0.3mm slit width on the detector side.
- Available in through-hole (GP1S196HCZ0F) and surface-mount (GP1S196HCZSF) versions.
- Wide operating temperature range from -25°C to +85°C.

The GP1S196HCZ0F is a transmissive optical sensor where an infrared LED emitter and a phototransistor detector are precisely aligned within a single molded housing, separated by a 1.1mm air gap. An object passing through this gap interrupts the light beam, causing a corresponding change in the phototransistor’s output current, enabling non-contact detection of position, speed, or end-of-travel limits.
Engineered with advanced transfer molding, this device is approximately half the size of conventional photointerrupters, making it ideal for miniaturized applications. Its robust design supports an industrial operating temperature range and is compliant with RoHS environmental standards, ensuring reliability in automated assembly and harsh operational environments.
