Infrared Sensors Line Guide
Often reliable, cost-effective
performance.
Often ideal for object presence,
motion and limit sensing,
position encoding, movement
detection, and counting, the
Honeywell S&C infrared sensor
line consists of reflective and
transmissive sensors, detectors,
emitters, and encoders.
Reflective
Sensors
HLC1395
HOA0149
HOA1180
Package style
miniature
0.6 mA
pc/chassis mount
1 mA
chassis mount
0.16 mA
Reflective: An infrared emitter
and phototransistors or
photodarlingtons are encased
side-by-side. Detector responds
to radiation from the infrared
emitter when a reflective object
passes.
Coupled current (Ic)
minimum
Forward current
10 mA
40 mA
30 mA
Optimum point of
response
1,02 mm [0.04 in]
3,80 mm [0.15 in]
12,7 mm [0.5 in]
Mounting
configuration
pcb or 0.085 in dia mounting
hole
Transmissive: Through a field
of view, an infrared emitter and a
photosensor are mounted facing
each other when an opaque
object passes through the slot,
interrupting the infrared path,
it is detected. These metal or
plastic products offer a variety
of electro-optical characteristics
and package styles.

Detectors: Available in a
number of different plastic,
metal, and ceramic packages,
with a wide variety of electro-
optical characteristics. Can
sense light over broad spectrum
from low visible through near
infrared wavelengths. Analog
detectors are available in
photodiodes, phototransistors,
and photodarlingtons. Digital
Optoschmitt detectors are also
available.

Emitters: Available in a variety
of packages to compliment
the Honeywell detector family.
Available in transfer-molded
plastic packages, as well as
ceramic surface mount or metal
packages in various styles. Two
basic chip types are used: GaAs
and AlGaAs.
Optimum point of

Encoders: Sensing speed and
direction or mechanical
motion, these PC-mount, plastic
products are typically used in
conjunction with an encoder
disk or linear encoder strip. As
the interruptive pattern moves,
the sensor provides data for
processing.
