From low cost through hole plastic IR emitters & detectors, photodiodes and hermetically sealed devices to mid and high power emitters we offer a wide range of infrared products with a number of output configurations. Devices are also packaged into assemblies for use in Transmissive or Reflective mode switches providing solutions in position sensing and control applications. For remote control systems lnfra Red receiver modules offer a modular solution which includes signal amplification in a small compact package. Where circuit isolation is required optocouplers form an integral part of the design with a series of generic part numbers with relevant safety approvals where required.

Receiver Modules

Using the latest hybrid technology we offer a range of Infrared receiver modules developed specifically for remote control systems. Integrated receiver modules have the advantages of:

  • Low standby power consumption
  • Low susceptibility to interference from ambient light and external noise sources
  • Choice of bandpass frequencies
  • Wide operating voltage range
  • Optional EMI shielding

Applications include Audio/Video equipment. Consumer electronics (air conditioners, air purifiers and automatic sunblind controls).

Reflective Switches

Reflective optical switches comprise of an infra red light source and a detector packaged in a single housing. Light from the source radiates outward, and is reflected back if an object passes in front of the switch. The reflected light is then sensed by the detector. Reflective switches can be used to detect the proximity of an object and are also referred to as proximity sensors.
Reflective switches provide contactless sensing and find applications in process and industrial controls, instrumentation, office equipment and consumer goods.
A range of packages constructions are available and assemblies can be supplied with custom length flying leads with connectors if required.

  • Industrial electronics
  • Photo interrupters control and drive circuits
  • IR remote control

Transmissive Switches

Transmissive switches, also be termed as slotted interrupter switches have a wide range of applications for motion or position sensing.

These devices operate on the principle that an infrared light path is produced from an emitting diode on one side of the slot to a photosensor on the opposite side of the central slot. When an object which is opaque to infrared light is placed in the slot the light signal to the photosensor is blocked thereby creating a solid state switch.

Transmissive switches provide contactless sensing of linear or rotary motion and find applications in process and industrial controls, instrumentation, office equipment and consumer goods.

A wide range of packages with varying depths and apertures are available and emitter/detector options include logic output.

In addition assemblies can be supplied with custom length flying leads with connectors if required.
