The HOA6480-001 is a reflective Barcode Sensor with pins incorporates a VCSEL (Vertical cavity surface-emitting laser) emitter and phototransistor detector in a custom moulded 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. The HOA6480 series provides a digital output that allows it to be interfaced with most decoding equipment. The 4.5mm (0.180-inch) focal length allows measurement with no contact and the 0.254mm (0.01-inch) resolution works well in most barcode applications. The HOA6480 typical scan speed is 254mm (10-inch) per second.
