Benets: An infrared emitter facing
a phototransistor. Phototransistor
switching takes place whenever an
opaque object passes through the slot
between emitter and detector. Employs
a built-in strain relief for maximum wire
attachment strength. Utilizes an IR
transmissive polysulfone housing which
features smooth optical faces without
external aperture openings; desirable
when aperture blockage from airborne
contaminants is a possibility.
HOA1870.
Features: Choice of phototransistor or
photodarlington output • Often accurate
position sensing • 1,78 mm [0.07 in] slot
width • 18 in [457 mm] min. 22 AWG
UL 1007 wire leads • Plastic-molded
components • Narrow dual 0.006 in
wide apertures over emitter and detector
provide sharp switch point/high resolution
Benets: An infrared emitter facing
a phototransistor or photodarlington.
Detector switching takes place whenever
an opaque object passes through the slot
between emitter and detector. Lead wires
provide alternate electrical connection
when PC board mounting is not possible.
Often ideal for use in potential applications
in which maximum position resolution is
desired.
OPTOSCHMITT DETECTORS
SD5600/SD5610.
Features: TO-46 metal-can package
• 6° (nominal) acceptance angle •
Enhanced noise immunity output •
TTL/LSTTL/CMOS compatible • Buffer
(SD5600) or inverting (SD5610) logic
available • Mechanically and spectrally
matched to SE3450/5450, SE3455/5455,
and SE3470/5470 infrared emitters
Benets: Single chip Optoschmitt IC
detectors mounted in a TO-46 metal-can
package. Photodetector consists of a
photodiode, amplier, voltage regulator,
Schmitt trigger, and an NPN output
transistor with 10 kOhm (nominal) pull-
up resistor. Output rise and fall times
are independent of the rate of change
of incident light. Detector sensitivity has
been internally temperature compensated.
Often suited for operating in hostile
environments. Potential applications
include presence sensing, motion
sensing, position encoding, limit sensing,
movement detection, and counting.
