Photointerrupter, also known as optointerrupter is a transmission-type photosensor, which typically consists of a light-emitting elements and light receiving elements aligned facing each other in a single package that works by detecting light blockage when a target object comes between both elements, acting as an optical switch. Photointerrupter is a non-contact(optical) switch that improves reliability by preventing wear-and-tear due to abrasion. Gallium arsenide Infrared LEDs are the most common light sources used in photointerrupters. Shielded NPN silicon phototransistors are the commonly used detection elements. Some photointerrupters have optical encoding capability that enables them to detect direction and speed. Photointerrupters can be made application-specific with special features that are added to suit the needs of an application. It has diverse uses in various industries. Such as pellet dispensing systems, office automation equipment, ATMs, optical limit switches, and general object detection. Its applications have been growing exponentially with growth in industrial automation, which is driving its market.
