Vishay Intertechnology Releases AEC-Q101 Qualified 3- and 4-Channel Optical Sensors for Turn and Push, Absolute, and Incremen...
April 18 2018 - 10:00AM
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) today introduced two new
AEC-Q101 qualified transmissive optical sensors for automotive and
industrial applications. Offered in a compact 5.5 mm by 5.85 mm by
7 mm package, the Vishay Semiconductors TCUT1630X01 and TCUT1800X01
are the industry’s first 3- and 4-channel transmissive sensors,
respectively.
The triple-channel TCUT1630X01 includes an infrared emitter and
three phototransistor detectors located face to face in a
surface-mount package. With a taller dome than previous-generation
devices and an additional channel for a vertical push function or
indexing tab, the device is ideal for turn and push encoding. The
quad-channel TCUT1800X01 includes two infrared emitters and four
phototransistor detectors, and it can detect up to 16 positions for
absolute and incremental encoding.
Both sensors released today can detect motion, speed, and
direction. They can be used as position sensors for encoders in
high temperature automotive environments close to motors, in
addition to turn interior knobs, ignition locks, adaptive
headlights, and electric power steering (EPS) systems. In
industrial applications, the devices are ideal for monitoring gas
or water meters and for detecting the status of doors, panels, and
inserted coins or credit cards.
The TCUT1630X01 and TCUT1800X01 deliver a typical output current
of 1.3 mA and operate at a wavelength of 950 nm. The optical
sensors feature a 3 mm gap width and apertures of 0.3 mm, and they
offer a wide temperature range of -40 °C to +105 °C. With a
Moisture Sensitivity Level rating of 1 (MSL1), the TCUT1630X01 and
TCUT1800X01 have an unlimited floor life. Compatible with reflow
solder processes according to JEDEC-STD-020D, the devices are
RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green.
Samples and production quantities of the optical sensors are
available now, with lead times of eight to 10 weeks for large
orders.
