The HOA1406 series consists of an infrared emitting diode facing an NPN silicon phototransistor (HOA1406-001) or photodarlington (HOA1406-003)encased side-by-side on converging optical axes, in a black thermoplastic housing. The detector responds to radiation from the IRED only when a reflective object passes within its field of view. This low profile sensor is ideally suited for applications where space is limited, or stacking of sensors is required. The HOA1406 series employs hermetically sealed metal can packaged components. For additional component information see SE2460, SD2440, SD2410. Housing material is polycarbonate. Housings are soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons and ketones. Recommended cleaning agents are methanol and isopropanol.
Wire color code and functions are:
IRED anode - red
IRED cathode - black
Collector - white
Emitter - green
