TCST5250 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Vishay Dale TCST5250 is a transmissive optical sensor designed for applications requiring precise optical switching. It integrates an infrared emitter and a phototransistor within a leaded package that effectively blocks visible light.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a typical collector current of 1.5 mA under specific test conditions (VCE = 10 V, IF = 20 mA) and a typical forward voltage of 1.375 V at 60 mA. The sensor operates within a temperature range of -25°C to +85°C and features an emitter wavelength of 950 nm.

 

The device is housed in a leaded package with dimensions of 14.3 mm x 6 mm x 9.5 mm, a gap of 2.7 mm, and an aperture of 0.5 mm. It is suitable for applications such as optical switches and shaft encoders. The component is RoHS3 compliant and lead-free soldering is supported.

 

Additional specifications include a maximum collector emitter voltage of 70 V and a maximum collector current of 100 mA. The turn-on time is typically 15 µs and the turn-off time is typically 10 µs, making it suitable for dynamic applications.
