Vishay's TCPT1300X01 and TCUT1300X01 transmissive sensors are said to be the industry's first with a Moisture Sensitivity Level rating of 1 (MSL1), which means they have an unlimited floor life. They also meet the AEC Q101 standard, a reliability test qualification procedure for discrete semiconductors published by the Automotive Electronics Council. The new sensors offer a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. With a 3 mm gap width, the sensors can be used with a wide variety of materials and allow for looser mechanical tolerances than sensors with smaller gaps, making them ideal for automotive and industrial applications. The TCPT1300X01 is a single channel transmissive sensor with an aperture of 0,3 mm and a gap of 3 mm. The TCUT1300X01 is a dual channel sensor with two apertures of 0,3 mm and a gap of 3 mm. Both sensors have a phototransistor output and operate at a wavelength of 950 nm. Both sensors are RoHS-compliant, free of halogens, and compatible with lead (Pb)-free soldering.
