Overview

The phototransistor is useful for building infrared sensors that can detect white or black.

The operation of these sensors is based on the emission of IR light by an LED and its mirroring or absorption by white or black surfaces.

This is a metal encapsulated silicon phototransistor for applications that require light sensing.
