TCUT1600X01 VISHAY Slot Type

The TCUT1600X01 from Vishay is an AEC‑Q101‑qualified dual‑channel transmissive optical sensor with a tall‑dome design for extra vertical headroom in automotive and industrial applications where compact pitch is required. For selection, it integrates an infrared emitter and two phototransistor detectors face‑to‑face in a 5.5 × 4 × 5.7 mm SMD package, providing a 3 mm gap with 0.3 mm apertures, a 950 nm emitter wavelength, and a typical output current of 1.6 mA. The device operates from ‑40 °C to +105 °C and meets MSL 1 with an unlimited floor life. In application, it detects motion, speed, and direction for encoders, turn‑knobs, ignition locks, adaptive headlights, and electronic power steering (ESP) systems, as well as optical switching in consumer panels and industrial automation where precisely aligned through‑beam sensing reduces assembly tolerance.
