Vishay TCST1030 Optical Sensor

The TCST1030 is a compact transmissive optical sensor that integrates an infrared emitter at 950 nm and a phototransistor, enclosed in a leaded package. Designed for high reliability, it blocks visible light, making it ideal for optical switches, shaft encoders, and opaque material detection, including magnetic tapes and paper. With a gap of 3.1 mm, it offers a typical output current of 2.4 mA under test conditions. Its RoHS-compliant, lead-free design ensures durability and safe operation across a temperature range from -25°C to +85°C, suited for industrial sensing applications.
