Product Overview

The XL-GK152 is a XINGLIGHT through-beam photoelectric switch in the LED category. Its optical structure combines an infrared emission diode with an NPN silicon phototransistor, packaged side-by-side on a converging optical axis. The peak wavelength is specified at 940 nm, supporting infrared optical sensing across a defined beam path.

Electrical limits include 75 mW power dissipation for both the input emitter and output detector at Ta=25°C. The input emitter is rated for 50 mA continuous forward current, 1000 mA peak forward current under ≤100 µs pulses at 1% duty cycle, and 5 V reverse voltage. The output detector ratings include 30 V collector-emitter voltage, 5 V emitter-collector voltage, and 20 mA collector current.

The device is supplied in a black thermoplastic housing. The datasheet shows outline dimensions in millimeters with unspecified tolerance of ±0.3 mm, but exact package dimensions are not provided in the extracted text. Assembly guidance includes 260°C lead soldering for 5 seconds at least 2 mm from the body, recommended wave soldering at 240±5°C for 6 seconds, and soldering iron use below 300°C for no more than 3 seconds per terminal.

Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for XL-GK152, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.

If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.

For LED and optoelectronic sourcing, brightness bin, wavelength or color temperature bin, forward voltage range, viewing angle, moisture sensitivity level and soldering process limits may affect final selection, availability and lead time.
