Optical Sensors are typically used to detect the presence or absence of an object, to measure its dimensions, or to count it. The Photointerrupter Slot Type – Transistor Output HOA0861-T55 is a type of optical sensor that works by transmitting and detecting a beam of light. This article will describe the application field and working principle of the HOA0861-T55.

Application Field of HOA0861-T55

The HOA0861-T55 is a slit-type through-beam photointerrupter, which is designed for use in non-contact sensing applications. This photointerrupter integrates a phototransistor detector and an infrared LED emitter into a single package.

The HOA0861-T55 offers a highly reliable, low-cost non-contact sensing solution. It is suitable for low cost optical sensing applications such as card readers, business automation, ticketing systems, gaming consoles, and robotics.

The HOA0861-T55 is also well suited for use in industrial automation. Its non-contact sensing capabilities make it a great choice for applications such as material handling, packaging, and material tracking.

Working Principle of HOA0861-T55

The HOA0861-T55 uses an infrared LED emitter and a phototransistor detector to detect the presence or absence of an object. The LED emitter emits a beam of light towards the phototransistor. When an object passes between the emitter and detector, the light beam is blocked and the phototransistor stops conducting current.

The HOA0861-T55 also uses a slotted design, which helps to reduce false triggering in noisy environments. The slotted design prevents the light beam from being blocked unintentionally as it passes through the slot.

The HOA0861-T55 has a built in transistor output which allows it to be directly connected to a microcontroller or other digital circuit without the need for an external amplifier or transistor.

The HOA0861-T55 is capable of operating in a range of temperatures from -25°C to 85°C and can tolerate voltages up to 30V. It also has an operating distance of up to 15mm and a response time of less than 5μs.

The HOA0861-T55 also has a low level output of 0.5V at 10mm, which allows it to be used with low voltage microcontrollers and other low power circuits.

Conclusion

The HOA0861-T55 is a optical sensor that consists of an infrared LED emitter and a phototransistor detector integrated into a slotted package. It is capable of non-contact sensing and is suitable for low-cost optical sensing applications in various industries. The HOA0861-T55 also has a built in transistor output and can operate in a range of temperatures and voltages.
