RPI-246

ROHM Semicon · Photointerrupters - Slot Type - Transistor Output · DIP-4

RPI-246 from ROHM Semicon, in a DIP-4. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 Cathode passive LED cathode of the infrared emitter; forward current max 50 mA, reverse voltage max 5 V.
2 Anode passive LED anode of the infrared emitter; forward current max 50 mA (VF typ 1.3 V at IF=50 mA), power dissipation 80 mW.
3 Collector passive Phototransistor collector; VCEO max 30 V, collector current max 30 mA, collector power dissipation 80 mW.
4 Emitter passive Phototransistor emitter; emitter-collector voltage max 4.5 V.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: RPI-246
  • Footprint: Package_DIP:DIP-4_W7.62mm
  • 3D model: DIP-4 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: rpi-246-etched.step / rpi-246-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); rpi-246.step / rpi-246.glb are the bare package body.
