Optical Sensors are widely used in different applications. Among the optical sensing technologies and products, Photointerrupters are essential tools for a range of applications from detection of movement or switch positions to process automation. Photointerrupters are generally divided into two categories based on component type, linear type and slot type. HOA6992-L55 belongs to the slot type optical photointerrupters.

HOA6992-L55 is a slot type optical photointerrupter with a logic output, configured in SIP-4 package. This type of photointerrupters is usually used for low power, low voltage applications. It has two phototransistor elements that are placed side by side, but facing opposite directions. As its name implies, its phototransistor element is used to detect the presence or the absence of object within a certain interval. The logic output of HOA6992-L55 photointerrupter can be switched from a high level output to a low level output accordingly when it detects a change in the presence or absence of obstacles.

The structure of HOA6992-L55 photointerrupter consists of an infra-red light-emitting diode and two phototransistors. The infra-red LED will emit infra-red rays that can pass through a gap of the slot. The two phototransistors, one next to each side of the gap receive the infrared radiation and the status of output will be determined accordingly. As long as the infra-red LED is on and the phototransistors are placed in opposite directions, the circuit can create differential output voltage which is determined by the position of the object within the slot. Depending on the position of the object, the output voltage can range from 0V to 5V.

This type of photointerrupter is widely used in modern automation and feedback control application, such as motor speed and position control systems. It can also be used for device design and human-computer interaction systems. In operation, when the obstacle is placed at the correct position, the output voltage will be high, and when it moves away from the gap, the output voltage will be low. Therefore, the photointerrupter is used to detect the presence or absence of the object accurately and quickly, so that it can be easily used to detect and control positions of elements.

HOA6992-L55 photointerrupters feature compact size, low power consumption, high sensitivity, and excellent durability. It can be operated in a wide range of applications with a power supply of 5V and a total operating current of 20mA. The device is also capable of operating at the temperature range of -30°C to +85°C. Furthermore, it has an excellent life cycle of more than 10,000 switching cycles.

In summary, HOA6992-L55 is a slot type optical photointerrupter with logic output, configured in SIP-4 package. It is suitable for low power, low voltage applications with a wide range of solution. It has excellent characteristics such as high sensitivity, excellent durability, small size, and low power consumption. Therefore, it is widely used in various applications, such as motor speed and position control systems, device design and human-computer interaction systems.
