The Honeywell HOA1180-002 is a reflective sensor designed for object detection and proximity sensing applications. It combines an infrared emitting diode and a phototransistor within a compact, black thermoplastic housing. This sensor responds to radiation from the IRED only when a reflective object is within its field of view, making it suitable for a variety of industrial uses, including automated equipment, security systems, and consumer electronics. The HOA1180 series utilizes metal can packaged components and is known for its high sensitivity and wide operating temperature range, ensuring reliable performance in diverse environments. Cleaning recommendations include methanol and isopropanol.
