The HY301-07A is a 4-pin slotted optical sensor, also known as a photo interrupter, designed for reliable object detection and position sensing.
The HY301-07A is a versatile 4-pin slotted optical sensor, commonly referred to as a photo interrupter. It integrates an infrared LED emitter and a phototransistor detector within a single U-shaped housing, creating a light beam across a slot. When an object passes through this slot, it interrupts the beam, causing a change in the phototransistor's output, which can be easily read by a microcontroller or other digital logic.
