The TLP1208(C3) is a digital‑output photointerrupter that combines a GaAs infrared LED with a high‑sensitivity photo IC in a compact, low‑current package. When the light beam is interrupted, the output goes low, making it suitable for position detection in copiers, printers, vending machines, and other equipment.
The datasheet lists the supply voltage range, output current limits, optical wavelengths, response frequency, and mechanical ratings, as well as mounting precautions and recommended connector types. These details help designers integrate the device safely and reliably into their systems.
| Supply Voltage (Vcc) | 10.8 V – 13.2 V (typ. 12.0 V) |
|---|---|
| Low Level Output Current (max) | 50 mA |
The device operates with a supply voltage between 10.8 V and 13.2 V, typically 12.0 V.
The screw should be tightened to a clamping torque of 0.59 N·m.
Avoid nitric acid (low concentration), hydrogen peroxide, chlorine, and similar solvents.
