DESCRIPTION

The HOA086X/087X series consists of an infrared emitting diode facing an NPN silicon phototransistor encased in a black thermoplastic housing. The phototransistor switching takes place whenever an opaque object passes through the slot between emitter and detector. This series allows the user to choose from available options: (1) mounting tab configurations, (2) lead spacing, (3) electro-optical characteristics, (4) detector aperture size, and (5) housing materials.

FEATURES

• Phototransistor output

• Accurate position sensing

• Four mounting configurations

• 0.125 in.(3.18 mm) slot width

• Choice of detector aperture

• Choice of opaque or IR transmissive housings
