ams OSRAM BPY 62-3/4 Silicon NPN Phototransistor High-Sensitivity Sidelooker IR Sensor

Introduction

The ams OSRAM BPY 62-3/4 is a high-performance silicon NPN phototransistor engineered specifically for manufacturers of automated machinery and optical sensing modules. Featuring a specialized side-looking (Sidelooker) package, the BPY 62 allows for low-profile PCB integration where the optical axis is parallel to the board surface. This sensor provides a broad spectral response from 400 nm to 1100 nm, making it exceptionally versatile for detecting both visible light and near-infrared signals from 850nm/940nm emitters.

For LED module manufacturers and contract manufacturers (EMS), the BPY 62 series offers a reliable path to precision sensing. Available in two specific sensitivity groupings (bin -3 and bin -4), it ensures that fixture manufacturers can achieve consistent trigger levels across large-scale production runs, reducing the need for individual circuit calibration.

Key Product Features

• Optimized Side-Looking Geometry: The mechanical design is tailored for edge-mounting or interrupter applications. It facilitates a streamlined optical path in high-speed industrial counters and encoders.
• Precision Sensitivity Binning (-3 / -4): Binned by photocurrent, these tiers allow electronic component distributors to provide matched pairs with IR emitters, ensuring high signal-to-noise ratios in final designs.
• High Linearity & Dynamic Range: The BPY 62 maintains excellent linearity between incident light intensity and collector current, simplifying the analog-to-digital conversion for sensor engineers.
• Industrial-Grade Reliability: Built on ams OSRAM's high-reliability platform, the package handles thermal stresses and provides stable performance in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C.
• Fast Response Times: Engineered for high-frequency applications, this phototransistor supports rapid switching, which is critical for high-speed photointerrupters and optical data links.

The BPY 62-3/4 series is a staple sensor for performance-driven industrial markets:

• Industrial Photointerrupters: Reliable detection in slot-type sensors for object counting and position limit switches.
• Encoders & Speed Sensing: Precision timing for motor speed control and rotational feedback systems.
• Consumer Electronics: Proximity sensing and remote control receivers requiring a side-view optical axis.
• Automotive Comfort Systems: Daylight detection and interior light-level sensors for cabin management.
