¿Conoces esa sensación cuando estás conduciendo y quieres saltarte una canción o subir el aire acondicionado sin tener que buscar la pantalla? O
So you’re knee-deep in designing an infrared optical switch, and now you’re staring at datasheets trying to figure out which 940nm phototransistor won’t let you
If you’ve been dealing with the Everlight PT334-6B in your designs, you probably know it pretty well by now. It’s that solid 5mm phototransistor that’s
If you’ve ever messed around with phototransistors in a project, you know they can stop working outta nowhere. Turns out, a lot of times its
If you’ve ever wondered what makes those TV remotes work so reliably, it’s all about infrared light bouncing around invisibly. Most folks don’t think much
If you’ve ever worked around big machines in a factory, you know how quickly things can go wrong if someone’s hand gets too close to
Optical switches are pretty cool little setups that let you detect stuff without any physical contact. I’ve messed around with these a ton over the
If you’ve ever tinkered with electronics projects involving light detection, you’ve probably run into the question of whether to grab a photodiode or a phototransistor.
Phototransistors are pretty cool little devices, right? They turn light into electrical signals, and they’re everywhere – from remote controls to light sensors in your
If you’re an engineer staring at a blank schematic early in a project, wondering whether to go with an NPN phototransistor or a PNP one,
