Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8541Same rate: 50%

If photoconductive cell rather than transistor

Light-dependent resistors (LDRs) without transistor amplification use different semiconductor structure.

8471.60Lower: 25% vs 50%

If keyboard position sensor

Phototransistors designed for automatic data processing input devices classify accordingly.

9017.10Lower: 13.9% vs 50%

If for drafting machine encoders

Position-sensing phototransistors for plotters/drafting machines fall under drawing instruments.
