The HOA2862 series consists of an infrared emitting
diode facing an NPN silicon phototransistor
(HOA2862-001, -002) or photodarlington
(HOA2862-003) encased in a black thermoplastic
housing. Detector switching takes place whenever an
opaque object passes through the slot between emitter
and detector. The HOA2862 series employs metal can
packaged components and has a 0.025 in.(.635 mm) x
0.040 in.(1.02 mm) vertical aperture in front of the
detector. The narrow detector aperture is ideal for use in
applications in which the maximum rejection of ambient
light is important. For additional component information
see SE1450, SD1440, and SD1410.
Housing material is polyester. Housings are soluble in
chlorinated hydrocarbons and ketones. Recommended
cleaning agents are methanol and isopropanol.
