Light convergent reflective sensor provides robust performance

Stocked by Mouser, the Omron B5W-LA01 light convergent reflective sensor provides robust performance with little influence from sensing object colour or material. This convergent-mode sensor uses a lens system to focus emitter and the receiver elements to an exact point in front of the sensor. B5W-LA01 is less sensitive to background reflections compared with diffuse-mode sensors. The sensor detects objects with mirror reflective surfaces and transparent objects. This device also provides a 70mm maximum sensing distance and analog voltage output. Target applications include home appliances, vending machines, office automation equipment, and ATMs.
