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

Optical surface mount detector for 4-way detection Thin, compact, noiseless design (3.1×3.1×0.8mm – thinnest in the industry *) Reflow-compatible Superior reliability – noiseless design not susceptible to vibration, unlike mechanical sensors	[Operating Principle]
[Internal Construction]
New silent operation. Sounds generated due to movement of the Ball Shield is greatly suppressed, resulting in noiseless operation. Ideal for a wide variety of compact devices.
[External Dimensions]
[Specifications]   Typ. Conditions Collector Current 1mA IF=5mA, VCE=5V(When dark) Leakage Current 0.1mA IF=5mA, VCE=5V(When dark)

Applications

Mobile phones, video cameras, digital cameras, digital photo frames, projectors, LCD TVs, and more..
