Description:
The NTE3103 Interrupter Module is a gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode coupled to a silicon Darlington connected phototransistor in a plastic housing. The packaging system is designed to optimize the mechanical resolution, coupling efficiency, ambient light rejection, cost, and reliability. The gap in the housing provides a means of interrupting the signal with an opaque material, switching the output from an “ON” into an “OFF” state.
