RPI-441C1

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

RPI-441C1 from ROHM, in a DIP-4. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 Anode passive Anode of the internal infrared LED emitter. Drive with forward current IF (typ. 20 mA, max. 50 mA) through a current-limiting resistor; VF = 1.3 V typ, 1.6 V max at IF = 50 mA. Reverse voltage VR must not exceed 5 V.
2 Cathode passive Cathode of the internal infrared LED emitter. Sinks the LED forward current to the return rail. LED power dissipation PD = 80 mW max.
3 Collector passive Collector of the internal silicon NPN phototransistor. Typically pulled up to VCC through a load resistor; VCEO max = 30 V, IC max = 30 mA, collector power dissipation PC = 80 mW max. On-state IC = 0.55 mA typ (IF = 20 mA, VCE = 5 V); VCE(sat) ≤ 0.4 V.
4 Emitter passive Emitter of the internal silicon NPN phototransistor. Normally tied to GND. Reverse emitter-collector voltage VECO must not exceed 4.5 V. Dark current ICEO ≤ 0.5 µA at VCE = 10 V.
