Reflective eye sensor component

[Frmrspec]

I’m looking to build a custom reflective eye system identical to an eblade, I know the sensors are still available since Gene@Autocockersparts still makes them.. anybody have a model number or any information about the sensor itself? I’d hate to pay $30 plus shipping just to deconstruct one and possibly scrap it

Here is a link to Mouser for Reflective Optical Sensors that are already filtered to leaded. If you know what voltage/current....etc. you need pretty sure you can find something that suits your needs. Digikey is another site you can search. Unfortunately I never messed with eBlade cockers so no hands on experience with what is actually used or what potential specs they are. Kind of ironic my original professional background is in Electronics Engineering but I have never got into Electronic Markers (owned one played with it once and sold it).

Zdspb.com has some resources... I've bought from his store before, so it should all still be available.

I already talked to Andy, the only sensor he knows of are either square or discontinued… for my project I need the round sensor that’s used on the eblade.

Yeah, I figured it might not work for what you needed after I posted.

Could've sworn there was something floating around the Interwebs on what the sensor is, it'll come to me eventually.

I found a part number on PbN (kodenshi sg-2bc) and Googled it... found a listing here:

Maybe that helps?

You’re the man.. now I just need to find some domestically to avoid all this tariff stuff
