H21A5 Datasheet

Phototransistor Optical Interrupter Switch

Manufacturer: Fairchild (now onsemi)

H21A5 Overview

The H21A series are gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode coupled with a silicon photodarlington in a plastic housing. The packaging system is designed to optimize the mechanical resolution, coupling efficiency, ambient light rejection, cost and reliability. The gap in the housing provides a means of interrupting the signal with an opaque material, switching the output from an “ON” to an “OFF” state.

H21A5 Key Features

  • Opaque housing
  • Low cost
  • 035” apertures
  • High IC(ON)
