  • VCNL4040

Note

(1) Adjustable through I2C interface

  • ORDERING CODE
  • VCNL4040M3OE
  • VCNL4040M3OE-H5 (2)

Notes

(1) MOQ: minimum order quantity

(2) The interposers are necessary when the component needs to be brought closer to a cover glass and the customers mechanical stack up does not allow for this with the standard height component (VCNL4040M3OE)
