Description

The GP1S58VJ000F from Sharp Microelectronics is a reflective-type photointerrupter module that combines an infrared LED emitter and a silicon phototransistor within a single, compact housing. This configuration creates an integrated optical gate where the emitted IR light reflects off a target object back to the detector, enabling non-contact sensing without the need for a separate receiver unit. The device is housed in a case-style through-hole package, simplifying PCB integration for volume manufacturing.

Engineered for reliability, the module includes molded positioning pins to prevent misalignment during assembly, ensuring consistent optical performance. The defined 5 mm sensing gap and 0.5 mm detector slit width allow for precise detection of small objects or fine positional changes. With an operating temperature range of -25°C to +85°C, this sensor is suitable for integration into a wide array of electronic and electromechanical systems requiring durable, maintenance-free operation.

Key Features

  • Integrated reflective-type optical design with IR emitter and phototransistor in one package.
  • Compact and robust case-style through-hole package measuring 13.7 x 10 x 5.2 mm.
  • Built-in PCB positioning pins guarantee correct orientation and optical alignment.
  • Defined 5 mm sensing gap and 0.5 mm vertical slit enable high-precision object detection.
  • Broad operating temperature range from -25°C to +85°C ensures stable performance in varying environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating principle of the GP1S58VJ000F photointerrupter?

The GP1S58VJ000F is a reflective-type photointerrupter. It contains an integrated infrared LED emitter and a phototransistor detector within the same housing. It senses objects by detecting the infrared light reflected back from a target surface within its 5 mm sensing gap, providing a digital or analog output signal change upon detection.

How do I properly mount this sensor on a PCB?

The sensor features a standard through-hole package with built-in positioning pins. You must incorporate the corresponding pin holes into your PCB layout to ensure correct physical orientation and optical alignment. Standard soldering techniques apply for the electrical pins.

What is the function of the 0.5 mm slit in the sensor?

The 0.5 mm vertical slit is located on the detector side of the housing. It acts as an optical aperture, narrowing the field of view of the phototransistor. This increases the sensor's spatial resolution and precision, allowing it to detect very fine edges or small objects passing through the 5 mm gap.

What is the typical interface circuit for the phototransistor output?

The phototransistor output typically requires a pull-up resistor to Vcc (often 5V or 3.3V) on its collector pin, with the emitter connected to ground. The voltage at the collector node will drop when the detector is illuminated (object absent in reflective mode), providing a logic-level or analog voltage signal readable by a microcontroller GPIO or ADC.
