Frequently Asked Questions
What is the slot width and detection range of the EE-SX1070?
The EE-SX1070 features an 8 mm slot width designed for precise position detection and object interruption sensing. Typical detection range extends to 5 mm between the LED emitter and phototransistor receiver, allowing reliable triggering even with ambient light levels up to 1000 lux. The 8 mm geometry matches standard industrial automation actuator widths, making it ideal for conveyor edge alignment and paper-jam detection in document feeders.
Can the EE-SX1070 replace Vishay TCST2100 optical sensors in existing designs?
Yes, the EE-SX1070 is a suitable alternative to Vishay TCST2100 models for most slotted optical sensing applications. Both deliver phototransistor outputs and 5 V DC operation, but the EE-SX1070's 8 mm slot offers tighter tolerance and faster switching response (typically 1 µs edge rate) compared to TCST2100's 5 mm geometry. The through-hole DIP-4 package is cross-compatible with standard IC sockets, easing retrofit in legacy automation control boards.
What output signal type and voltage levels does the EE-SX1070 phototransistor produce?
The EE-SX1070 produces a phototransistor output that transitions from saturation (0.2 V) in light to cutoff (5 V) in darkness when operating at 5 V DC. The collector current ranges from 10 mA (in saturation) to 100 nA (in cutoff), allowing direct interface to TTL and CMOS logic gates without additional signal conditioning. Response time is typically 10 µs, suitable for conveyor line speeds up to 500 rpm and automated inspection systems requiring sub-20 ms detection latency.
