This is an output circuit that uses a transistor, in which the collector serves as the output terminal.
The transistor acts as a contact, so this is referred to as a contactless output.
Typically, the collector terminal is pulled up externally to convert the signal into a voltage signal.
With voltage pulse output, a fixed voltage level is provided, but in the case of open collector output, users need to supply their own power source; however, the advantage is that the voltage level can be freely set.
The signal is output through a single line, with the potential difference between the signal line and GND representing the signal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"template":"","dictionary_category":[1402],"products_category":[],"class_list":["post-26617","dictionary","type-dictionary","status-publish","hentry","dictionary_category-o"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nOpen collector output | Watanabe Electric Industry<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Open collector output | Watanabe Electric Industry\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Open collector output | Watanabe Electric Industry\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Open collector output | Watanabe Electric Industry\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/watanabe-elec-wp.grgr.blue\/en\/dictionary\/26617\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Watanabe Electric Industry\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/watanabe-elec-wp.grgr.blue\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/ogp-en.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/watanabe-elec-wp.grgr.blue\/en\/dictionary\/26617\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/watanabe-elec-wp.grgr.blue\/en\/dictionary\/26617\/\",\"name\":\"Open collector output | Watanabe Electric Industry\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/watanabe-elec-wp.grgr.blue\/en\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2025-07-18T10:28:55+00:00\",\"description\":\"Open collector output | Watanabe Electric Industry\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/watanabe-elec-wp.grgr.blue\/en\/dictionary\/26617\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/watanabe-elec-wp.grgr.blue\/en\/dictionary\/26617\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/watanabe-elec-wp.grgr.blue\/en\/dictionary\/26617\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/watanabe-elec-wp.grgr.blue\/en\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Glossary\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/watanabe-elec-wp.grgr.blue\/en\/dictionary\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Alphabet\uff08A\u301cZ\uff09\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/watanabe-elec-wp.grgr.blue\/en\/dictionary\/category\/a-z\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":4,\"name\":\"Open collector output\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/watanabe-elec-wp.grgr.blue\/en\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/watanabe-elec-wp.grgr.blue\/en\/\",\"name\":\"Watanabe Electric Industry Co.
