Toshiba TLP1211 Photointerrupter Datasheet
The TLP1211 is a photointerrupter that combines an infrared LED, a silicon phototransistor, and an amplifier circuit. It detects the presence of objects by generating a high‑level output when the light path is blocked, with a wide 12 mm gap suitable for large‑size detection.
The datasheet lists maximum ratings, opto‑electrical specifications, mechanical data such as slit width and terminal strength, and detailed precautions for mounting, torque, and material compatibility. It also includes characteristic curves for output current versus detector distance.
