Vishay TCST2300 Optical Sensor

The TCST2300 is a highly reliable transmissive optical sensor designed for precise detection in automation and control systems. Featuring an infrared emitter at 950 nm and a face-to-face phototransistor, it effectively blocks visible light and employs a daylight blocking filter to ensure accurate readings in various lighting conditions. Compact with dimensions of 24.5 x 6.3 x 10.8 mm and a gap of 3.1 mm, it supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to 85°C. These sensors are ideal for optical switching, photo interruption, counters, and encoders in industrial environments.
