OPB720A-12Z Overview

It's important to set the photoelectric sensor's temperature to 0°C~50°C for reliable performance. Into a circuit or system, these electronic components must be given 10V~30V voltage. Ensure reliability by operating the photoelectric sensor at 0°C degrees Celsius or lower. For reliable operation, a maximum operating temperature of 50°C is required. In order for the photoelectric sensor to function, the 3 pins must be connected. Photoelectric sensors need 50mA at their outputs to work. Photoelectric sensors can handle voltages up to 30V in DC circuits without causing damage. In this photoelectric sensor, the voltage can be as low as possible, such as 0 volts. For optimal efficiency, photoelectric sensors should have their supply voltage set to 10V. As a result, the maximum output supply voltage is set to 5V in order to meet the operation requirements of photoelectric sensors. The photoelectric sensors can dissipate 300mW continuously under the specified thermal conditions.
