📦 Package, Dimensions & Assembly Notes
The XL-ITR1100 features a standard transmissive slot-type structure, likely utilizing a through-hole mounting style for mechanical stability (inferred from lead soldering specs). ⚙️ The outline dimensions are critical for mechanical integration into chassis or PCB slots; all drawings without specific tolerances should be assumed to be ±0.3mm.
- Moisture Sensitivity: The component is classified as MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 2.
- Assembly: Ensure proper alignment during wave soldering or manual soldering to avoid bridging the emitter and detector leads.
- Environment: The packaging utilizes moisture-proof and anti-static foil bags to maintain ESD safety and prevent shelf-life degradation.
🚢 Sourcing & Supply Considerations
For procurement teams and engineers, verifying the voltage grading codes (R2-4) and current transfer codes (IC23-33) is essential for batch consistency. 🔍 When sourcing XL-ITR1100 units, confirm that the supplier provides authentic XINGLIGHT products with valid RoHS and Lead-Free certifications. Sample evaluation should focus on the saturation voltage variance to ensure compatibility with your drive logic. For high-volume projects, checking lead times and moisture-proof packaging integrity upon arrival is recommended to mitigate SMT assembly defects.
❓ FAQ
Q: What is the peak emission wavelength of the XL-ITR1100?
A: The device emits infrared light at a peak wavelength (λP) of 940nm, which is invisible to the human eye and minimizes interference from ambient visible light sources.
Q: Can the XL-ITR1100 be used in high-temperature environments?
A: The component is rated for an operating temperature range of -25°C to +85°C. It is suitable for standard commercial and industrial environments but should be evaluated carefully if placed near high-heat sources like power transformers.
Q: What is the maximum Forward Current allowed for this sensor?
A: The Absolute Maximum Rating for Continuous Forward Current (IF) is 50mA. However, a Peak Forward Current (IFP) of 1000mA is permissible, provided the pulse width is ≤100μs and the duty cycle is 1%.
Q: How do I ensure the sensor is authentic and compliant?
A: Look for the Pb-Free (Lead-Free) and RoHS markings on the packaging. Additionally, verify the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) marking, which is Level 2 for this model, to ensure proper storage and handling procedures.
Q: What is the response time of the XL-ITR1100?
A: Both the Rise Time (tr) and Fall Time (tf) are typically 15μs. This fast response time makes it suitable for detecting small objects or high-speed operations in printers and slot machines.
