HOA7730-M11

The HOA7730 series Optoschmitt Sensor that consists of an infrared emitting diode facing an optoschmitt detector encased in a black thermoplastic housing. The photodetector consists of a photodiode, amplifier, voltage regulator and Schmitt trigger with open collector output configuration. The open collector allows the output of the sensor to interface with circuit elements driven by supply voltages other than Vcc supply. The inverting logic provides a high output when the optical path is interrupted and a low output when the path is clear. The infrared emitting diode is biased internally, eliminating the need for any external circuitry. Interconnection is simplified through the use of the integral Tyco three-pin connector. Both the emitter and detector have a 0.508 x 1.78mm vertical aperture. The narrow aperture is ideal for use in applications in which the maximum rejection of ambient light is important and the maximum position resolution is desired.
