Product Description
The HOA6425-001 consists of two infrared emitting diodes facing two NPN silicon phototransistors. Detector
switching takes place whenever an opaque object passes through the slot between the emitter and the detector.
The dual channels allow both the speed and the direction of the interrupter to be sensed. Emitters and detectors
have a 0.5mm (0.020 in.) vertical aperture. This feature is ideal for use in applications in which high position
resolution is desired. The sensor housing is an opaque thermoplastic with aperture openings for use in applications
in which maximum rejection of ambient light is important and maximum position resolution is desired. The
HOA6425-001 contains plastic molded components. Housing material is Valoxâ. Housings are soluble in chlorinated
hydrocarbons and ketones. Recommended cleaning agents are methanol and isopropanol.
