Series Barcode Sensor HOA6480

Description
The HOA6480 Series is a reflective barcode sensor that incorporates a VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface-emitting Laser) emitter and phototransistor detector in a custommolded plastic package. The VCSEL technology allows the sensor to operate with a very low drive current. The phototransistor drives an operational amplifier with an open-collector output, providing users with flexibility in their interface designs.

Features
1) Class IIIB VCSEL
2) Digital output
3) Depth of field: 4,5 mm ±0,5 mm [0.180 in ±0.20 in]
4) Focal length: 4,5 mm [0.180 in]
5) Resolution: 0,254 mm [0.010 in] Choice of pin, wire or custom termination

Potential Applications
Barcode verification in dispensing and processing equipment
Line or edge detection
Encoding
Data collection from manufacturing lines, robotic operations, production instrumentation / control units, automated sorting and screening equipment and analytical systems such as medical analysis. (Note that carbon black ink is required for this device to sense lines.)
