Horizontal Vertical 4 Direction Detection Sensor RPI-1040

ROHM now offers the RPI -1040 optical surface mount 4-way detection sensor optimized for digital cameras. More compact and thinner than the current conventional model (RPI-1031), the new sensor also features noiseless operation, making it ideal for mobile phones equipped with video functionality, digital photo frames, and other thin applications requiring orientation detection.

Features

  1. Optical surface mount detector for 4-way detection
  2. Thin, compact, noiseless design
    (3.1×3.1×0.8mm – thinnest in the industry *)
  3. Reflow-compatible
  4. Superior reliability – noiseless design not susceptible to vibration, unlike mechanical sensors
