Description

A Photointerrupter is a transmission-type photosensor, which typically consists of a light emitting elements and light receiving elements aligned facing each other in a single package, that works by detecting light blockage when a target object comes between both elements, acting as an optical switch.

At ROHM, we refer to optical-type photosensors as photointerrupters.

Unlike mechanical switches, photointerrupters are non-contact (optical) switches, improving reliability by preventing wear-and-tear due to abrasion (contact).
