HOA1870-031 Overview
The HOA1870 series consists of an infrared emitting diode facing an NPN silicon phototransistor (HOA1870-031) or photodarlington (HOA1870-033)encased in a black thermoplastic housing. Detector switching takes place whenever an opaque object passes through the slot between emitter and detector. A minimum of 18.0 in (457 mm)lead wires provides alternate electrical connection when PC board mounting is not possible.
