Product Description

Vishay TCST2103 is a miniature slotted optical switch designed for precise object detection in various industrial and electronic applications. This device integrates an infrared emitter and a phototransistor aligned face-to-face within a leaded through-hole package, effectively blocking visible light to ensure accurate optical switching.

The TCST2103 model features a slot width of 3.1 mm, making it suitable for detecting interruptions in light beams, which is essential in applications such as counters, encoders, and photo interrupters.

The device supports a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to 85°C, allowing it to function reliably in harsh environmental conditions. Its typical rise and fall times of 10 µs and 8 µs respectively enable fast and responsive switching performance.

The compact dimensions of 24.5 mm (length) x 6.3 mm (width) x 11.1 mm (height) allow for easy integration into printed circuit boards and equipment where space is limited. The TCST2103 has a typical output current of 4 mA, providing a strong phototransistor output signal suitable for electronic control systems.

It is RoHS compliant and suitable for lead-free soldering processes, supporting environmentally responsible manufacturing practices. Miniature slotted optical switch with integrated infrared emitter and phototransistor. Leaded through-hole mount package suitable for easy PCB insertion.
