Products & Services
Optocouplers
Optocouplers are capable of transferring an electrical signal between two circuits while isolating the circuits from each other.
Photoconductive Cells
Photoconductive cells are light-sensitive resistors, in which resistance decreases with an increase in light intensity when illuminated.
Photodiodes
Photodiodes are used for the detection of optical power (UV, Visible, and IR) and for the conversion of optical power to electrical power.
Phototransistors
Phototransistors are solid-state light detectors with internal gain that are used to provide analog or digital signals. They detect visible, ultraviolet and near-infrared light from a variety of sources and are more sensitive than photodiodes. This category includes photodarlingtons. 
LED Mounts and Lenses
LED mounts and lenses are used to mount LEDs and shape or transfer light output. Other components in this area include LED light pipes, headers, interconnects, and assemblies.
