Photologic® Dual Channel Encoder
OPBA301, OPBA303
OPTEK Technology is TS 16949:2002 certified, any changes will be consistent with TS 16949:2002 procedures.
Features:
 Dual channel outputs for Quadrature output
 Open collector inverter outputs
 0.010” (0.254 mm) sensor apertures for high resolution
 Snap mount
Description:
The OPBA301 and OPBA303 device consists of an infrared emitting diode and a monolithic integrated circuit
which incorporates two independent photodiodes, linear amplifiers, Schmitt trigger circuits and output transistors.
The OPBA301 features a dual TTL output that is compatible with TTL/LSTTL and can drive 8 TTL loads. The
OPBA303 has a 10K pull-up output with EMI protection on each channel.
Applications include linear and rotary encoders with high resolution provided by internal 0.010” (0.254 mm)
apertures located in front of the Photologic® sensor on 0.040” (1.02 mm) center line spacing.
Custom electrical design, wire length and connectors are available. Contact your local representative or OPTEK
for more information.

Applications:
Mechanical switch replacement
Speed and direction indication
Mechanical limit indication
Rotary encoders
Edge sensing
Sliding door automotive and
liftgate applications
