The OPB916 consists of an infrared emitting diode and a Photologic photo integrated circuit, and it features choice of output configuration and low power consumption.
The OPB916 series are slotted optical switches with a deep slot for extended optical path reach. They offer a choice of output configurations, low power consumption, and are supplied with 24‑min 26 AWG wires. The housing is PVC insulated, UL‑rated, and includes dust‑protecting clear windows.
The bulletin lists absolute maximum ratings, detailed electrical characteristics, and part‑number guides. It also includes wiring diagrams for the four output types and recommended cleaning procedures for the plastic body.
