What are the key features of SFH 9206?
- Integrated reflective optical sensor combining IR emitter at 950 nm peak wavelength and phototransistor detector in a single SMD package
- Phototransistor output provides analog current proportional to reflected IR light intensity, enabling flexible threshold detection circuits
- Compact surface-mount housing with short optical path distance suited for detecting objects within a few millimeters
- Broad supply voltage compatibility from 3.3 V to 5 V logic levels for direct interfacing with microcontrollers without additional level shifting
What is SFH 9206 used for?
The SFH 9206 is commonly used in proximity sensing, object detection, and paper-end detection circuits in printers, vending machines, and industrial automation equipment. Its reflective phototransistor design enables non-contact position detection where a physical switch cannot be used, such as detecting the presence of a reflective surface within a few millimeters. The sensor also finds application in liquid level indication and touchless button interfaces in consumer and medical devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What emission wavelength does the OSRAM SFH 9206 IR emitter use, and why does it matter for detector pairing?
The SFH 9206 IR emitter operates at a peak wavelength of 950 nm, which falls in the near-infrared band where the integrated phototransistor detector is most sensitive, maximizing signal-to-noise ratio and allowing reliable object detection within a sensing distance of a few millimeters.
How does the SFH 9206 phototransistor output interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers?
The phototransistor output stage operates across a 3.3 V to 5 V supply range, allowing designers to connect a pull-up resistor of typically 10 kΩ to either 3.3 V or 5 V rails and read the switching threshold directly on a GPIO pin of a 3.3 V microcontroller without a level translator.
For which industrial automation tasks is the SFH 9206 reflective sensor a suitable choice compared to a mechanical switch?
In paper-end detection, label gap sensing, and encoder wheel counting applications, the SFH 9206 provides non-contact, wear-free detection at cycle rates exceeding several hundred Hz, making it far more durable than mechanical switches in high-cycle-count production lines running 24/7.
What SMD package dimensions does the SFH 9206 use, and how does that influence PCB layout spacing?
The SFH 9206 comes in a compact SMD reflective sensor package with an emitter-detector center distance of approximately 3 mm or less, requiring a keep-out area around the optical aperture to prevent stray light from adjacent components from coupling into the detector and causing false triggers.
