The HLC1395 is a miniature infrared sensor designed to sense reflective objects at short distances. Both the GaAs IRED and the NPN phototransistor are mounted side-by-side in a single black plastic package with an integral barrier to minimize crosstalk. The sensor is configured with the IRED cathode and the phototransistor emitter connected to a common lead. The housing consists of an opaque polysulfone outer shell with transfer-molded, IR-transmissive epoxy encapsulant. Housings are soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons and ketones. Recommended cleaning agents are methanol and isopropanol.
