Advantages

Ready to use

Measuring just 3.7 x 3.7 x 1.0 mm and delivering a digital output signal, the SFH 7740 is a ready-to-use optical switch that eliminates the need for additional signal evaluation logic.

Using a reflective mark rather than magnets, it overcomes magnetic interference problems associated with Hall sensors in position-sensing applications, and it performs extraordinarily well at extremely short distances (0.5 mm).

Compact & economical

Its low power consumption, combined with its exceptionally compact dimensions, make it the ultimate position sensing and touch switch component for mobile phones, PDAs and other compact, battery-powered devices.
