Features of Photomicrosensor s
The Photomicrosensor is a compact optical sensor that senses objects or object positions with an optical beam. The transmissive Photomicrosen-
sor and reflective Photomicrosensor are typical Photomicrosensors.
The transmissive Photomicrosensor incorporates an emitter and a transmissive that face each other as shown in Figure 1. When an object is lo-
cated in the sensing position between the emitter and the detector, the object intercepts the optical beam of the emitter, thus reducing the amount
of optical energy reaching the detector.
The reflective Photomicrosensor incorporates an emitter and a detector as shown in Figure 2. When an object is located in the sensing area of the
reflective Photomicrosensor, the object reflects the optical beam of the emitter, thus changing the amount of optical energy reaching the detector.
“Photomicrosensor” is an OMRON product name. Generally, the Photomicrosensor is called a photointerrupter.
Datasheet
Absolute Maximum Ratings and
Electrical and Optical Characteristics
The datasheets of Photomicrosensors include the absolute
maximum ratings and electrical and optical characteristics of the
Photomicrosensors as well as the datasheets of transistors and ICs.
It is necessary to understand the difference between the absolute
maximum ratings and electrical and optical characteristics of various
Photomicrosensors.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
The absolute maximum ratings of Photomicrosensors and other
products with semiconductors specify the permissible operating
voltage, current, temperature, and power limits of these products.
The products must be operated absolutely within these limits.
Therefore, when using any Photomicrosensor, do not ignore the
absolute maximum ratings of the Photomicrosensor, or the
Photomicrosensor will not operate precisely. Furthermore, the
Photomicrosensor may be deteriorate or become damaged, in which
case OMRON will not be responsible.
Practically, Photomicrosensors should be used so that there will be
some margin between their absolute maximum ratings and actual
operating conditions.
Electrical and Optical Characteristics
The electrical and optical characteristics of Photomicrosensors
indicate the performance of Photomicrosensors under certain
conditions. Most items of the electrical and optical characteristics
are indicated by maximum or minimum values. OMRON usually sells
Photomicrosensors with standard electrical and optical
characteristics. The electrical and optical characteristics of
Photomicrosensors sold to customers may be changed upon
request. All electrical and optical characteristic items of
Photomicrosensors indicated by maximum or minimum values are
checked and those of the Photomicrosensors indicated by typical
values are regularly checked before shipping so that OMRON can
guarantee the performance of the Photomicrosensors.
In short, the absolute maximum ratings indicate the permissible
operating limits of the Photomicrosensors and the electrical
and optical characteristics indicate the maximum p erformance
of the Photomicrosensors.

Design
The following explains how systems using Photomicrosensors must
be designed.
Emitter
Characteristics of Emitter
The emitter of each Photomicrosensor has an infrared LED or red
LED. Figure 3 shows how the LED forward current characteristics of
the EE-SX1018, which has an emitter with an infrared LED, and
those of the EE-SY169B, which has an emitter with a red LED, are
changed by the voltages imposed on the EE-SX1018 and EE-
SY169B. As shown in this figure, the LED forward current
characteristics of the EE-SX1018 greatly differ from those of the EE-
SY169B. The LED forward current characteristics of any
Photomicrosensor indicate how the voltage drop of the LED
incorporated by the emitter of the Photomicrosensor is changed by
the LED’s forward current (IF) flowing from the anode to cathode.
Figure 3 shows that the forward voltage (VF) of the red LED is higher
than that of the infrared LED.
The forward voltage (VF) of the infrared LED is approximately 1.2 V
and that of the red LED is approximately 2 V provided that the
practical current required by the infrared LED and that required by
the red LED flow into these LEDs respectively.
Drivin g C urren t Level
It is especially important to decide the level of the forward current (IF)
of the emitter incorporated by any Photomicrosensor. The forward
current must not be too large or too small.
Before using any Photomicrosensor, refer to the absolute maximum
ratings in the datasheet of the Photomicrosensor to find the emitter’s
forward current upper limit. For example, the first item in the absolute
maximum ratings in the datasheet of the EE-SX1018 shows that the
forward current (IF) of its emitter is 50 mA at a Ta (ambient
temperature) of 25°C. This means the forward current (IF) of the
emitter is 50 mA maximum at a Ta of 25°C. As shown in Figure 4, the
forward current must be reduced according to changes in the
ambient temperature.
Figure 4 indicates that the forward current (IF) is approximately
27 mA maximum if the EE-SX1018 is used at a Ta of 60°C. This
means that a current exceeding 27 mA must not flow into the emitter
incorporated by the EE-SX1018 at a Ta of 60°C.
As for the lower limit, a small amount of forward current will be
required because the LED will not give any output if the forward
current IF is zero.
In short, the forward current lower limit of the emitter of any
Photomicrosensor must be 5 mA minimum if the emitter has an
infrared LED and 2 mA minimum if the emitter has a red LED. If the
forward current of the emitter is too low, the optical output of the
emitter will not be stable. To find the ideal forward current value of
the Photomicrosensor, refer to the light current (IL) shown in the
datasheet of the Photomicrosensor. The light current (IL) indicates
the relationship between the forward current (IF) of the LED
incorporated by the Photomicrosensor and the output of the LED.
The light current (IL) is one of the most important characteristics. If
the forward current specified by the light current (IL) flows into the
emitter, even though there is no theoretical ground, the output of the
emitter will be stable. This characteristic makes it possible to design
the output circuits of the Photomicrosensor easily. For example, the
datasheet of EE-SX1018 indicates that a forward current (IF) of 20
mA is required.

Design Method
The following explains how the constants of a Photomicrosensor
must be determined. Figure 5 shows a basic circuit that drives the
LED incorporated by a Photomicrosensor.
The basic circuit absolutely requires a limiting resistor (R). If the LED
is imposed with a forward bias voltage without the limiting resistor,
the current of the LED is theoretically limitless because the forward
impedance of the LED is low. As a result the LED will burn out.
Users often ask OMRON about the appropriate forward voltage to be
imposed on the LED incorporated by each Photomicrosensor model
that they use. There is no upper limit of the forward voltage imposed
on the LED provided that an appropriate limiting resistor is
connected to the LED. There is, however, the lower limit of the
forward voltage imposed on the LED. As shown in Figure 3, the
lower limit of the forward voltage imposed on the LED must be at
least 1.2 to 2 V, or no forward current will flow into the LED. The
supply voltage of a standard electronic circuit is 5 V minimum.
Therefore, a minimum of 5 V should be imposed on the LED. A
system incorporating any Photomicrosensor must be designed by
considering the following.
1. Forward current (IF)
2. Limiting resistor (R) (refer to Figure 5)
As explained above, determine the optimum level of the forward
current (IF) of the LED. The forward current (IF) of the EE-SX1018,
for example, is 20 mA. Therefore, the resistance of the limiting
resistor connected to the LED must be decided so that the forward
current of the LED will be approximately 20 mA. The resistance of
the limiting resistor is obtained from the following.
In this case 5 V must be substituted for the supply voltage (VCC). The
forward voltage (VF) obtained from Figure 3 is approximately 1.2 V
when the forward current (IF) of the LED is 20 mA. Therefore, the
following resistance is obtained.
The forward current (IF) varies with changes in the supply voltage
(VCC), forward voltage (VF), or resistance. Therefore, make sure that
there is some margin between the absolute maximum ratings and
the actual operating conditions of the Photomicrosensor.
The positions of the limiting resistor (R) and the LED in Figure 5 are
interchangeable. If the LED is imposed with reverse voltages
including noise and surge voltages, add a rectifier diode to the circuit
as shown in Figure 6. LEDs can be driven by pulse voltages, the
method of which is, however, rarely applied to Photomicrosensors.
In short, the following are important points required to operate any
Photomicrosensor.
A forward voltage (VF) of approximately 1.2 V is required if the
Photomicrosensor has an infrared LED and a forward voltage (VF) of
approximately 2 V is required if the Photomicrosensor has a red
LED.
The most ideal level of the forward current (IF) must flow into the LED
incorporated by the Photomicrosensor.
Decide the resistance of the limiting resistor connected to the LED
after deciding the value of the forward current (IF).
If the LED is imposed with a reverse voltage, connect a rectifier
diode to the LED in parallel with and in the direction opposite to the
direction of the LED.

Phototransistor Output
Characteristics of Detecto r Element
The changes in the current flow of the detector element with and
without an optical input are important characteristics of a detector
element. Figure 7 shows a circuit used to check how the current flow
of the phototransistor incorporated by a Photomicrosensor is
changed by the LED with or without an appropriate forward current
(IF) flow, provided that the ambient illumination of the
Photomicrosensor is ideal (i.e., 0 lx). When there is no forward
current (IF) flowing into the LED or the optical beam emitted from the
LED is intercepted by an opaque object, the ammeter indicates
several nanoamperes due to a current leaking from the
phototransistor. This current is called the dark current (ID). When the
forward current (IF) flows into the LED with no object intercepting the
optical beam emitted from the LED, the ammeter indicates several
milliamperes. This current is called the light current (IL).
The difference between the dark current and light current is 106
times larger as shown below.
When optical beam to the phototransistor is interrupted
Dark current ID: 10–9 A
When optical beam to the phototransistor is not interrupted
Light current IL: 10–3 A
The standard light current of a phototransistor is 106 times as large
as the dark current of the phototransistor. This difference in current
can be applied to the sensing of a variety of objects.
The ambient illumination of the LED and phototransistor
incorporated by the Photomicrosensor in actual operation is not 0 lx.
Therefore, a current larger than the dark current of the
phototransistor will flow into the phototransistor when the optical
beam emitted from the LED is interrupted. This current is rather
large and must not be ignored if the Photomicrosensor has a
photoelectric Darlington transistor, which is highly sensitive, as the
detector element of the Photomicrosensor. The dark current of the
phototransistor incorporated by any reflective Photomicrosensor
flows if there is no reflective object in the sensing area of the
reflective Photomicrosensor. Furthermore, due to the structure of the
reflective Photomicrosensor, a small portion of the optical beam
emitted from the LED reaches the phototransistor after it is reflected
inside the reflective Photomicrosensor. Therefore, the dark current
and an additional current will flow into the phototransistor if there is
no sensing object in the sensing area. This additional current is
called leakage current (ILEAK). The leakage current of the
phototransistor is several hundred nanoamperes and the dark
current of the phototransistor is several nanoamperes.
The dark current temperature and light current temperature
dependencies of the phototransistor incorporated by any
Photomicrosensor must not be ignored. The dark current
temperature dependency of the phototransistor increases when the
ambient temperature of the Photomicrosensor in operation is high or
the Photomicrosensor has a photoelectric Darlington transistor as
the detector element of the Photomicrosensor. Figure 8 shows the
dark current temperature dependency of the phototransistor
incorporated by the EE-SX1018.
Due to the temperature dependency of the phototransistor, the light
current (IL) of the phototransistor as the detector element of the
Photomicrosensor increases according to a rise in the ambient
temperature. As shown in Figure 9, however, the output of the LED
decreases according to a rise in the ambient temperature due to the
temperature dependency of the LED. An increase in the light current
of the phototransistor is set off against a decrease in the output of
the LED and consequently the change of the output of the
Photomicrosensor according to the ambient temperature is
comparatively small. Refer to Figure 10 for the light current
temperature dependency of the phototransistor incorporated by the
EE-SX1018.
The light current temperature dependency shown in Figure 10 is,
however, a typical example. The tendency of the light current
temperature dependency of each phototransistor is indefinite. This
means the temperature compensation of any Photomicrosensor is
difficult.

Changes in Characteristics
The following explains the important points required for the
designing of systems incorporating Photomicrosensors by
considering worst case design technique. Worst case design
technique is a method to design systems so that the
Photomicrosensors will operate normally even if the characteristics
of the Photomicrosensors are at their worst. A system incorporating
any Photomicrosensor must be designed so that they will operate
even if the light current (IL) of the phototransistor is minimal and the
dark current (ID) and leakage current of the phototransistor are
maximal. This means that the system must be designed so that it will
operate even if the difference in the current flow of the
phototransistor between the time that the Photomicrosensor senses
an object and the time that the Photomicrosensor does not sense
the object is minimal.
The worst light current (IL) and dark current (ID) values of the
phototransistor incorporated by any Photomicrosensor is specified in
the datasheet of the Photomicrosensor. (These values are specified
in the specifications either as the minimum value or maximum
value.)
Table 1 shows the dark current (ID) upper limit and light current (IL)
lower limit values of the phototransistors incorporated by a variety of
Photomicrosensors.
Systems must be designed by considering the dark current (ID)
upper limit and light current (IL) lower limit values of the
phototransistors. Not only these values but also the following factors
must be taken into calculation to determine the upper limit of the
dark current (ID) of each of the phototransistors.
External light interference
Temperature rise
Power supply voltage
Leakage current caused by internal light reflection if the systems
use reflective Photomicrosensors.
The above factors increase the dark current (ID) of each
phototransistor.
As for the light current (IL) lower limit of each phototransistor, the
following factors must be taken into calculation.
Temperature change
Secular change
The above factors decrease the light current (IL) of each
phototransistor.
Table 2 shows the increments of the dark current (ID) and the
decrements of the light current (ID) of the phototransistors.
Therefore, if the EE-SX1018 is operated at a Ta of 60°C maximum
and a VCC of 10 V for approximately 50,000 hours, for example, the
dark current (ID) of the phototransistor incorporated by the EE-
SX1018 will be approximately 4 µA and the light current (IL) of the
phototransistor will be approximately 0.5 mA because the dark
current (ID) of the phototransistor at a Ta of 25°C is 200
nanoamperes maximum and the light current (IL) of the
phototransistor at a Ta of 25°C is 0.5 mA minimum.
Table 3 shows the estimated worst values of a variety of
Photomicrosensors, which must be considered when designing
systems using these Photomicrosensors.
The dispersion of the characteristics of the Photomicrosensors must
be also considered, which is explained in detail later. The light
current (IL) of the phototransistor incorporated by each reflective
Photomicrosensor shown in its datasheet was measured under the
standard conditions specified by OMRON for its reflective
Photomicrosensors. The light current (IL) of any reflective
Photomicrosensor greatly varies with its sensing object and sensing
distance.

Design of Basic Circu itry
The following explains the basic circuit incorporated by a typical
Photomicrosensor and the important points required for the basic
circuit.
The flowing currents (i.e., IL and ID) of the phototransistor
incorporated by the Photomicrosensor must be processed to obtain
the output of the Photomicrosensor. Refer to Figure 13 for the basic
circuit. The light current (IL) of the phototransistor will flow into the
resistor (RL) if the phototransistor receives an optical input and the
dark current (ID) and leakage current of the phototransistor will flow
into the resistor (RL) if the phototransistor does not receive any
optical input. Therefore, if the phototransistor receives an optical
input, the output voltage imposed on the resistor (RL) will be
obtained from the following.
IL x RL
If the phototransistor does not receive any optical input, the output
voltage imposed on the resistor (RL) will be obtained from the
following.
(ID + leakage current) x RL
The output voltage of the phototransistor is obtained by simply
connecting the resistor (RL) to the phototransistor. For example, to
obtain an output of 4 V minimum from the phototransistor when it is
ON and an output of 1 V maximum when the phototransistor is OFF
on condition that the light current (IL) of the phototransistor is 1 mA
and the leakage current of the phototransistor is 0.1 mA, and these
are the worst light current and leakage current values of the
phototransistor, the resistance of the resistor (RL) must be
approximately 4.7 k. Then, an output of 4.7 V (i.e., 1 mA x 4.7 k)
will be obtained when the phototransistor is ON and an output of
0.47 V (i.e., 0.1 mA x 4.7 k) will be obtained when the
phototransistor is OFF. Practically, the output voltage of the
phototransistor will be more than 4.7 V when the phototransistor is
ON and less than 0.47 V when the phototransistor is OFF because
the above voltage values are based on the worst light current and
leakage current values of the phototransistor. The outputs obtained
from the phototransistor are amplified and input to ICs to make
practical use of the Photomicrosensor.

Design of Applied Circuit
The following explains the designing of the applied circuit shown in
Figure 15.
The light current (IL) of the phototransistor flows into R1 and R2 when
the phototransistor receives the optical beam emitted from the LED.
Part of the light current (IL) will flow into the base and emitter of Q1
when the voltage imposed on R2 exceeds the bias voltage (i.e.,
approximately 0.6 to 0.9 V) imposed between the base and emitter
of the transistor (Q1). The light current flowing into the base turns Q1
ON. A current will flow into the collector of Q1 through R3 when Q1 is
ON. Then, the electric potential of the collector will drop to a low
logic level. The dark current and leakage current of the
phototransistor flow when the optical beam emitted from the LED is
intercepted. The electric potential of the output of the phototransistor
(i.e., (ID + leakage current) x R2) is, however, lower than the bias
voltage between the base and emitter of Q1. Therefore, no current
will flow into the base of Q1 and Q1 will be OFF. The output of Q1 will
be at a high level. As shown in Figure 16, when the phototransistor is
ON, the phototransistor will be seemingly short-circuited through the
base and emitter of the Q1, which is equivalent to a diode, and if the
light current (IL) of the phototransistor is large and R1 is not
connected to the phototransistor, the light current (IL) will flow into Q1
and the collector dissipation of the phototransistor will be
excessively large.
The following items are important when designing the above applied
circuit:
The voltage output (i.e., IL x R2) of the phototransistor receiving the
optical beam emitted from the LED must be much higher than the
bias voltage between the base and emitter of Q1.
The voltage output (i.e., (ID + leakage current) x R2) of the pho-
totransistor not receiving the optical beam emitted from the LED
must be much lower than the bias voltage between the base and
emitter of Q1.
Therefore, it is important to determine the resistance of R2. Figure
17 shows a practical applied circuit example using the EE-SX1018
Photomicrosensor at a supply voltage (VCC) of 5V to drive a 74-
series TTL IC. This applied circuit example uses R1 and R2 with
appropriate resistance values.
Cal culation of R 2
The resistance of R2 should be decided using the following so that
the appropriate bias voltage (VBE(ON)) between the base and
emitter of the transistor (Q1) to turn Q1 ON will be obtained.
The bias voltage (VBE(ON)) between the base and emitter of Q1 is
approximately 0.8 V and the base current (IB) of Q1 is approximately
20 µA if Q1 is a standard transistor controlling small signals. The
estimated worst value of the light current (IL) of the phototransistor is
0.25 mA according to Table 3.
Therefore, the following is obtained.
R2 must be larger than the above result. Therefore, the actual
resistance of R2 must be two to three times as large as the above
result. In the above applied circuit example, the resistance of R2 is
10 k.
Verification of R2 Value
The resistance of R2 obtained from the above turns Q1 ON. The
following explains the way to confirm whether the resistance of R2
obtained from the above can turns Q1 OFF as well. The condition
required to turn Q1 OFF is obtained from the following.
(ID + α) x R2 < VBE(OFF)
Substitute 10 k for R2, 4 µA for the dark current (ID) according to
Table 3, and 10 µA for the leakage current on the assumption that
the leakage current is 10 µA in formula 3. The following is obtained.
The above result verifies that the resistance of R2 satisfies the
condition required to turn Q1 OFF.
If the appropriateness of the resistance of R2 has been verified, the
design of the circuit is almost complete.

Technical Information 23
R1
As shown in Figure 16, when the phototransistor is ON, the
phototransistor will be seemingly short-circuited through the base
and emitter of the Q1, and if the light current (IL) of the
phototransistor is large and R1 is not connected to the
phototransistor, the light current will flow into Q1 and the collector
dissipation of the phototransistor will be excessively large. The
resistance of R1 depends on the maximum permissible collector
dissipation (PC) of the phototransistor, which can be obtained from
the datasheet of the Photomicrosensor. The resistance of R1 of a
phototransistor is several hundred ohms. In the above applied circuit
example, the resistance of R1 is 200 .
If the resistance of R1 is determined, the design of the circuit is
complete.
It is important to connect a transistor to the phototransistor
incorporated by the Photomicrosensor to amplify the output of the
phototransistor, which increases the reliability and stability of the
Photomicrosensor. Such reliability and stability of the
Photomicrosensor cannot be achieved if the output of the
phototransistor is not amplified. The response speed and other
performance characteristics of the circuit shown in Figure 15 are far
superior to those of the circuit shown in Figure 13 because the
apparent impedance (i.e., load resistance) of the Photomicrosensor
is determined by R1, the resistance of which is comparatively small.
Recently, Photomicrosensors that have photo IC amplifier circuits
are increasing in number because they are easy to use and make it
possible to design systems using Photomicrosensors without
problem.
Design of Systems Incorporating
Photomicrosensors (2)
Photo IC Output
Figure 18 shows the circuit configuration of the EE-SX301 or EE-
SX401 Photomicrosensor incorporating a photo IC output circuit.
The following explains the structure of a typical Photomicrosensor
with a photo IC output circuit.
LED Forward Current (IF) Sup p ly Circuit
The LED in the above circuitry is an independent component, to
which an appropriate current must be supplied from an external
power supply. This is the most important item required by the
Photomicrosensor.
It is necessary to determine the appropriate forward current (IF) of
the LED that turns the photo IC ON. If the appropriate forward
current is determined, the Photomicrosensor can be easily used by
simply supplying power to the detector circuitry (i.e., the photo IC).
Refer to the datasheet of the Photomicrosensor to find the current of
the LED turning the photo IC ON. Table 4 is an extract of the
datasheet of the EE-SX301/EE-SX401.
Table 4. Abstract of Characteristics
To design systems incorporating EE-SX301 or EE-SX401
Photomicrosensors, the following are important points.
A forward current equivalent to or exceeding the IFTOFF value must
flow into the LED incorporated by each EE-SX301 Photomicrosen-
sors.
A forward current equivalent to or exceeding the IFTON value must
flow into the LED incorporated by the EE-SX401 Photomicrosen-
sors.
The IFTON value of the EE-SX301 is 8 mA maximum and so is the IFON
value of the EE-SX401. The forward current (IF) of LED incorporated
by the EE-SX301 in actual operation must be 8 mA or more and so
must the actual forward current of (IF) the LED incorporated by the
EE-SX401 in actual operation. The actual forward currents of the
LEDs incorporated by the EE-SX301 and EE-SX401 are limited by
their absolute maximum forward currents respectively. The upper
limit of the actual forward current of the LED incorporated by the EE-
SX301 and that of the LED incorporated by the EE-SX401 must be
decided according Figure 19, which shows the temperature
characteristics of the EE-SX301 and EE-SX401. The forward current
(IF) of the EE-SX301 must be as large as possible within the
absolute maximum forward current and maximum ambient
temperature shown in Figure 19 and so must be the forward current
(IF) of the EE-SX401. The forward current (IF) of the EE-SX301 or
that of the EE-SX401 must not be close to 8 mA, otherwise the
photo IC of the EE-SX301 or that of the EE-SX401 may not operate
if there is any ambient temperature change, secular change that
reduces the optical output of the LED, or dust sticking to the LED.
The forward current (IF) values of the EE-SX301 and the EE-SX401
in actual operation must be twice as large as the IFOFF values of the
EE-SX301 and EE-SX401 respectively. Figure 20 shows the basic
circuit of a typical Photomicrosensor with a photo IC output circuit.
If the Photomicrosensor with a photo IC output circuit is used to drive
a relay, be sure to connect a reverse voltage absorption diode (D) to
the relay in parallel as shown in Figure 21.

Precautions
The following provides the instructions required for the operation of
Photomicrosensors.
Transmissive Photomicrosensor
Incorporating Phototransistor Output
Circuit
When using a transmissive Photomicrosensor to sense the following
objects, make sure that the transmissive Photomicrosensor operates
properly.
Highly permeable objects such as paper, film, and plastic
Objects smaller than the size of the optical beam emitted by the
LED or the size of the aperture of the detector.
The above objects do not fully intercept the optical beam emitted by
the LED. Therefore, some part of the optical beam, which is
considered noise, reaches the detector and a current flows from the
phototransistor incorporated by the detector. Before sensing such
type of objects, it is necessary to measure the light currents of the
phototransistor with and without an object to make sure that the
transmissive Photomicrosensor can sense objects without being
interfered by noise. If the light current of the phototransistor sensing
any one of the objects is IL(N) and that of the phototransistor sensing
none of the objects is IL(S), the signal-noise ratio of the
phototransistor due to the object is obtained from the following.
S/N = IL(S)/IL(N)
The light current (IL) of the phototransistor varies with the ambient
temperature and secular changes. Therefore, if the signal-noise ratio
of the phototransistor is 4 maximum, it is necessary to pay utmost
attention to the circuit connected to the transmissive
Photomicrosensor so that the transmissive Photomicrosensor can
sense the object without problem. The light currents of
phototransistors are different to one another. Therefore, when
multiple transmissive Photomicrosensors are required, a variable
resistor must be connected to each transmissive Photomicrosensor
as shown in Figure 22 if the light currents of the phototransistors
greatly differ from one another.
The optical beam of the emitter and the aperture of the detector
must be as narrow as possible. An aperture each can be attached to
the emitter and detector to make the optical beam of the emitter and
the aperture of the detector narrower. If apertures are attached to
both the emitter and detector, however, the light current (IL) of the
phototransistor incorporated by the detector will decrease. It is
desirable to attach apertures to both the emitter and detector. If an
aperture is attached to the detector only, the transmissive
Photomicrosensor will have trouble sensing the above objects when
they pass near the emitter.

Technical Information 25
When using the transmissive Photomicrosensor to sense any object
that vibrates, moves slowly, or has highly reflective edges, make
sure to connect a proper circuit which processes the output of the
transmissive Photomicrosensor so that the transmissive
Photomicrosensor can operate properly, otherwise the transmissive
Photomicrosensor may have a chattering output signal as shown in
Figure 24. If this signal is input to a counter, the counter will have a
counting error or operate improperly. To protect against this, connect
a 0.01- to 0.02-µF capacitor to the circuit as shown in Figure 25 or
connect a Schmitt trigger circuit to the circuit as shown in Figure 26.
Reflective Photomicrosensor
Incorporating Phototransistor Output
Circuit
When using a reflective Photomicrosensor to sense objects, pay
attention to the following so that the reflective Photomicrosensor
operates properly.
External light interference
Background condition of sensing objects
Output level of the LED
The reflective Photomicrosensor incorporates a detector element in
the direction shown in Figure 27. Therefore, it is apt to be affected by
external light interference. The reflective Photomicrosensor,
therefore, incorporates a filter to intercept any light, the wavelength
of which is shorter than a certain wavelength, to prevent external
light interference. The filter does not, however, perfectly intercept the
light. Refer to Figure 28 for the light interception characteristics of
filters. A location with minimal external light interference is best
suited for the reflective Photomicrosensor.
With regard to the background conditions, the following description is
based on the assumption that the background is totally dark.
Figure 29 shows that the optical beam emitted from the LED
incorporated by a reflective Photomicrosensor is reflected by a
sensing object and background object. The optical beam reflected
by the background object and received by the phototransistor
incorporated by the detector is considered noise that lowers the
signal-noise ratio of the phototransistor. If any reflective
Photomicrosensor is used to sense paper passing through the
sensing area of the reflective Photomicrosensor on condition that
there is a stainless steel or zinc-plated object behind the paper, the
light current (IL(N)) of the phototransistor not sensing the paper may
be larger than the light current (IL(S)) of phototransistor sensing the
paper, in which case remove the background object, make a hole
larger than the area of the sensor surface in the background object
as shown in Figure 30, coat the surface of the background object
with black lusterless paint, or roughen the surface of the
background. Most malfunctions of a reflective Photomicrosensor are
caused by an object located behind the sensing objects of the
reflective Photomicrosensor.
Unlike the output (i.e., IL) of any transmissive Photomicrosensor, the

light current (IL) of a reflective Photomicrosensor greatly varies
according to sensing object type, sensing distance, and sensing
object size.
The light current (IL) of the phototransistor incorporated by the
transmissive Photomicrosensor is output when there is no sensing
object in the sensing groove of the transmissive Photomicrosensor.
On the other hand, the light current (IL) of the phototransistor
incorporated by the reflective Photomicrosensor is output when
there is a standard object specified by OMRON located in the
standard sensing distance of the reflective Photomicrosensor. The
light current (IL) of the phototransistor incorporated by the reflective
Photomicrosensor varies when the reflective Photomicrosensor
senses any other type of sensing object located at a sensing
distance other than the standard sensing distance. Figure 31 shows
how the output of the phototransistor incorporated by the EE-SF5(-
B) varies according to varieties of sensing objects and sensing
distances. Before using the EE-SF5(-B) to sense any other type of
sensing objects, measure the light currents of the phototransistor in
actual operation with and without one of the sensing objects as
shown in Figure 32. After measuring the light currents, calculate the
signal-noise ratio of the EE-SF5(-B) due to the sensing object to
make sure if the sensing objects can be sensed smoothly. The light
current of the reflective Photomicrosensor is, however, several tens
to hundreds of microamperes. This means that the absolute signal
levels of the reflective Photomicrosensor are low. Even if the
reflective Photomicrosensor in operation is not interfered by external
light, the dark current (ID) and leakage current (ILEAK) of the reflective
Photomicrosensor, which are considered noise, may amount to
several to ten-odd microamperes due to a rise in the ambient
temperature. This noise cannot be ignored. As a result, the signal-
noise ratio of the reflective Photomicrosensor will be extremely low if
the reflective Photomicrosensor senses any object with a low
reflection ratio.
Pay utmost attention when applying the reflective Photomicrosensor
to the sensing of the following.
Marked objects (e.g., White objects with a black mark each)
Minute objects
The above objects can be sensed if the signal-noise ratio of the
reflective Photomicrosensor is not too low.
The reflective Photomicrosensor must be used with great care,
otherwise it will not operate properly.

Structure and Materials
The emitter and detector elements of conventional
Photomicrosensors are fixed with transparent epoxy resin and the
main bodies are made of polycarbonate. Unlike ICs and transistors,
which are covered with black epoxy resin, Photomicrosensors are
subject to the following restrictions.
1. Low Heat Resistivity
The storage temperature of standard ICs and transistors is
approximately 150°C. The storage temperature of highly resistant
Photomicrosensors is 100°C maximum. The heat resistance of
the EE-SY169 Series which use ABS resin in the case, is particu-
larly low (80°C maximum).
2. Low Mechanical Strength
Black epoxy resin, which is used for the main bodies of ICs and
transistors, contains additive agents including glass fiber to
increase the heat resistivity and mechanical strength of the main
bodies. Materials with additive agents cannot be used for the bod-
ies of Photomicrosensors because Photomicrosensors must
maintain good optical permeability. Unlike ICs and transistors,
Photomicrosensors must be handled with utmost care because
Photomicrosensors are not as heat or mechanically resistant as
ICs and transistors. No excessive force must be imposed on the
lead wires of Photomicrosensors.
Mounting
Screw Mounting
If Photomicrosensors have screw mounting holes, the
Photomicrosensors can be mounted with screws. Unless otherwise
specified, refer to the following when tighten the screws.
Read the following before tightening the screws.
1. The use of a torque screwdriver is recommended to tighten each
of the screws so that the screws can be tightened to the tighten-
ing torque required.
2. The use of a screw with a spring washer and flat washer for the
mounting holes of a Photomicrosensor is recommended. If a
screw with a spring washer but without a flat washer is used for
any mounting hole, the part around the mounting hole may crack.
3. Do not mount Photomicrosensors to plates stained with machin-
ing oil, otherwise the machining oil may cause cracks on the Pho-
tomicrosensors.
4. Do not impose excessive forces on Photomicrosensors mounted
to PCBs. Make sure that no continuous or instantaneous external
force exceeding 500 g (4.9 N) is imposed on any lead wire of the
Photomicrosensors.
PCB Mounting Holes
Unless otherwise specified, the PCB to which a Photomicrosensor is
mounted must have the following mounting holes.
Soldering
Lead Wires
Make sure to solder the lead wires of Photomicrosensors so that no
excessive force will be imposed on the lead wires. If an excessive
forces is likely to be imposed on the lead wires, hold the bases of the
lead wires.
Soldering Temperatu re
Regardless of the device being soldered, soldering should be
completed quickly so that the devices are not subjected to thermal
stress. Care is also required in the processing environment for
processes other than soldering so that the devices are not subject to
thermal stress or other external force.
1. Manual Soldering
Unless otherwise specified, the lead wires of Photomicrosensors
can be soldered manually under the following conditions.
These conditions must also be maintained when using lead-free
solder, i.e., soldering with lead-free solder is possible as long as
the following conditions are maintained.
Soldering temperature: 350°C max. (The temperature of the
tip of a 30-W soldering iron is approxi-
mately 320°C when the soldering iron
is heated up.)
Soldering time: 3 s max.
Soldering position: At least 1.5 mm away from the bases
of the lead wires.
The temperature of the tip of any soldering iron depends on the
shape of the tip. Check the temperature with a thermometer
before soldering the lead wires. A highly resistive soldering iron
incorporating a ceramic heater is recommended for soldering the
lead wires.

2. Dip Soldering
The lead wires of Photomicrosensors can be dip-soldered under
the following conditions unless otherwise specified.
Preheating temperature: Must not exceed the storage tempera-
ture of the Photomicrosensors.
Soldering temperature: 260°C max. (the lead wires)
Soldering time: 10 s max.
Soldering position: At least 0.3 mm away from the bases
of the housing.
The soldering temperature is specified as the temperature
applied to the lead terminals. Do not subject the cases to
temperatures higher than the maximum storage temperature. It is
also possible for the sensor case to melt due to residual heat of
the PCB. When using a PCB with a high thermal capacity (e.g.,
those using fiber-glass reinforced epoxy substrates), confirm that
the case is not deformed and install cooling devices as required
to prevent distortion. Particular care is required for the EE-SY169
Series, which use ABS resin in the case.
Do not use non-washable flux when soldering EE-SA-series
Photomicrosensors, otherwise the Photomicrosensors will have
operational problems. For other Photomicrosensors, check the
case materials and optical characteristics carefully to be sure that
residual flux does not adversely affect them.
3. Reflow Soldering
The reflow soldering of Photomicrosensors is not possible except
for the EE-SX1107, -SX1108, -SX1109, -SX1131, -SX4134, EE-
SY125 and EE-SY193. The reflow soldering of these products
must be performed carefully under the conditions specified in the
datasheets of these products, respectively. Before performing the
reflow soldering of these products, make sure that the reflow sol-
dering equipment satisfies the conditions.
Compared to general ICs, optical devices have a lower resistance
to heat. This means the reflow temperature must be set to a lower
temperature. Observe the temperature provides provided in the
specifications when mounting optical devices.
4. External Forces Immediately Following Soldering
The heat resistance and mechanical strength of Photomicrosen-
sors are lower than those of ICs or transistors due to their physi-
cal properties. Care must thus be exercised immediately after
soldering (particularly for dip soldering) so that external forces
are not applied to the Photomicrosensors.
External Forces
The heat resistivity and mechanical strength of Photomicrosensors
are lower than those of ICs or transistors. Do not to impose external
force on Photomicrosensors immediately after the
Photomicrosensors are soldered. Especially, do not impose external
force on Photomicrosensors immediately after the
Photomicrosensors are dip-soldered.
Cleaning Precautions
Cleaning
Photomicrosensors except the EE-SA105 and EE-SA113 can be
cleaned subject to the following restrictions.
1. Typ es of Detergent
Polycarbonate is used for the bodies of most Photomicrosensors.
Some types of detergent dissolve or crack polycarbonate. Before
cleaning Photomicrosensors, refer to the following results of
experiments, which indicate what types of detergent are suitable
for cleaning Photomicrosensors other than the EE-SA105 and
EE-SA113.
Observe the law and prevent against any environmental damage
when using any detergent.
Results of Experiments
Ethyl alcohol: OK
Methyl alcohol: OK
Isopropyl alcohol: OK
Trichlene: NG
Acetone: NG
Methylbenzene: NG
Water (hot water): The lead wires corrode depending on the
conditions
2. Cleaning Method
Unless otherwise specified, Photomicrosensors other than the
EE-SA105 and EE-SA113 can be cleaned under the following
conditions. Do not apply an unclean detergent to the Photomi-
crosensors.
DIP cleaning: OK
Ultrasonic cleaning: Depends on the equipment and the PCB
size. Before cleaning Photomicrosensors,
conduct a cleaning test with a single Pho-
tomicrosensor and make sure that the
Photomicrosensor has no broken lead
wires after the Photomicrosensor is
cleaned.
Brushing: The marks on Photomicrosensors may be
brushed off. The emitters and detectors of
reflective Photomicrosensors may have
scratches and deteriorate when they are
brushed. Before brushing Photomicrosen-
sors, conduct a brushing test with a single
Photomicrosensor and make sure that the
Photomicrosensor is not damaged after it
is brushed.
Operating and Storage Temperatures
Observe the upper and lower limits of the operating and storage
temperature ranges for all devices and do not allow excessive
changes in temperature. As explained in the restrictions given in
Structure and Materials, elements use clear epoxy resin, giving them
less resistance to thermal stress than normal ICs or transistors
(which are sealed with black epoxy resin). Refer to reliability test
results and design PCBs so that the devices are not subjected to
excessive thermal stress.
Even for applications within the operating temperature range, care
must also be taken to control the humidity. As explained in the
restrictions given in Structure and Materials, elements use clear
epoxy resin, giving them less resistance to humidity than normal ICs
or transistors (which are sealed with black epoxy resin). Refer to
reliability test results and design PCBs so that the devices are not
subjected to excessive thermal stress. Photomicrosensors are
designed for application under normal humidities. When using them
in humidified or dehumidified, high-humidity or low-humidity,
environments, test performance sufficiently for the application.
LED Drive Currents
Photomicrosensors consist of LEDs and light detectors. Generally
speaking, temporal changes occur to LEDs when power is supplied
to them (i.e., the amount of light emitted diminishes). With less light,
the photoelectric current is reduced for a sensor with a
phototransistor output or the threshold current is increased for a
sensor with a photo-IC output. Design circuits with sufficient
consideration to the decline in the emitted light level. The reduction
in emitted light is far greater for red LEDs than for infrared LEDs.
Also, with red LEDs that contain aluminum, aluminum oxide will form
if they are powered under high humidities, calling for a greater need
for consideration of the decline in the emitted light level.
Light Interceptors
Select a material for the light interceptor with superior interception
properties. If a material with inferior light interception properties,
such as a plastic that is not black, is used, light may penetrate the
interceptor and cause malfunction. With Photomicrosensors, most of
which use infrared LEDs, a material that appears black to the human
eye (i.e., in the visible light range) may be transparent to infrared
light. Select materials carefully.
Precautions 29
Guideline for Light Interceptors
When measuring the light interception properties of the light
interceptor, use 0.1% maximum light transmission as a guideline.
Criteria
Where,
IL1 is the IL for light reception
IL2 is the IL for light interception by the intercepter
VTH is the threshold voltage
IF1 is the IF for measurement of IL given in product specifications
IF2 is the IF in actual application ( = (VCC VF)/RF = (VCC 1.2)/RF)
ILMAX is the standard upper limit of the optical current IL
Then,
Light transmission = IL2/IL1 = α
Here there should be no problems if the following equation is
satisfied.
VTH (IF2/IF1) × ILMAX × RL × α
Caution is required, however, because there are inconsistencies in
light transmission.
Reflectors
The reflectors for most Photomicrosensors are standardized to white
paper with a reflection ratio of 90%. Design the system to allow for
any differences in the reflection ratio of the detection object. With
Photomicrosensors, most of which use infrared LEDs, a material that
appears black to the human eye (i.e., in the visible light range) may
have a higher reflection ratio. Select materials carefully. Concretely,
marks made with dye-based inks or marks made with petrolium-
based magic markers (felt pens) can have the same reflection ratio
for infrared light as white paper.
The reflectors for most Photomicrosensors are standardized to white
paper with a reflection ratio of 90%. Paper, however, disperses light
relatively easily, reducing the effect of the detection angle. Materials
with mirrored surfaces, on the other hand, show abrupt changes in
angle characteristics. Check the reflection ratio and angles
sufficiently for the application.
The output from most Photomicrosensors is determined at a
specified distance. Characteristics will vary with the distance.
Carefully check characteristics at the specific distance for the
application.
Output Stabilization Time
Photomicrosensors with photo-IC outputs require 100 ms for the
internal IC to stabilize. Set the system so that the output is not read
for 100 ms after the power supply is turned ON. Also be careful if the
power supply is turned OFF in the application to save energy when
the Photomicrosensor is not used.
When using a Photomicrosensor with a phototransistor output
outside of the saturation region, stabilization time is required to
achieve thermal balance. Care is required when using a variable
resistor or other adjustment.

Soldering Information
Reflow soldering
The following soldering paste is recommended:
Melting temperature: 216 to 220°C
Composition: Sn 3.5 Ag 0.75 Cu
The recommended thickness of the metal mask for screen printing is between 0.2 and 0.25 mm.
Set the reflow oven so that the temperature profile shown in the following chart is obtained for the upper surface of the product being soldered.
Manual sold ering
Use ”Sn 60” (60% tin and 40% lead) or solder with silver content.
Use a soldering iron of less than 25 W, and keep the temperature of the iron tip at 350°C or below.
Solder each point for a maximum of three seconds.
After soldering, allow the product to return to room temperature before handling it.

Precautions
Soldering Information
Reflow soldering
The following soldering paste is recommended:
Melting temperature: 216 to 220°C
Composition: Sn 3.5 Ag 0.75 Cu
The recommended thickness of the metal mask for screen printing is between 0.2 and 0.25 mm.
Set the reflow oven so that the temperature profile shown in the following chart is obtained for the upper surface of the product being soldered.
Manual sold ering
Use ”Sn 60” (60% tin and 40% lead) or solder with silver content.
Use a soldering iron of less than 25 W, and keep the temperature of the iron tip at 300°C or below.
Solder each point for a maximum of three seconds.
After soldering, allow the product to return to room temperature before handling it.
Storage
To protect the product from the effects of humidity until the package is opened, dry-box storage is recommended. If this is not possible, store the
product under the following conditions:
Temperature: 10 to 30°C
Humidity: 60% max.
The product is packed in a humidity-proof envelope. Reflow soldering must be done within 48 hours after opening the envelope, during which time
the product must be stored under 30°C at 80% maximum humidity.
If it is necessary to store the product after opening the envelope, use dry-box storage or reseal the envelope.
Baking
If a product has remained packed in a humidity-proof envelope for six months or more, or if more than 48 hours have lapsed since the envelope
was opened, bake the product under the following conditions before use:
Reel: 60°C for 24 hours or more
Bulk: 80°C for 4 hours or more
260°C max.

The following soldering paste is recommended:
Melting temperature: 216 to 220°C
Composition: Sn 3.5 Ag 0.75 Cu
The recommended thickness of the metal mask for screen printing
is between 0.2 and 0.25 mm.
Set the reflow oven so that the temperature profile shown in the fol-
lowing chart is obtained for the upper surface of the product being
soldered.
Manual sold ering
Use”Sn 60” (60% tin and 40% lead) or solder with silver content.
Use a soldering iron of less than 25 W, and keep the temperature
of the iron tip at 300°C or below.
Solder each point for a maximum of three seconds.
After soldering, allow the product to return to room temperature
before handling it.

Recommended Mounting Holes
When mounting the Photomicrosensor to a panel with a hole opened by pressing, make sure that the hole has no burrs. The mounting strength
of the Photomicrosensor will decrease if the hole has burrs.
When mounting the Photomicrosensor to a panel with a hole opened by pressing, be sure to mount the Photomicrosensor on the pressing side
of the panel.
The mounting strength of the Photomicrosensor will increase if the Photomicrosensor is mounted to a panel with a hole that is only a little larger
than the size of the Photomicrosensor, in which case, however, it will be difficult to mount the Photomicrosensor to the panel. The mounting
strength of the Photomicrosensor will decrease if the Photomicrosensor is mounted to a panel with a hole that is comparatively larger than the
size of the Photomicrosensor, in which case, however, it will be easy to mount the Photomicrosensor to the panel. When mounting the Photomi-
crosensor to a panel, open an appropriate hole for the Photomicrosensor according to the application.
After mounting the Photomicrosensor to any panel, make sure that the Photomicrosensor does not wobble.
When mounting the Photomicrosensor to a molding with a hole, make sure that the edges of the hole are sharp enough, otherwise the Photomi-
crosensor may fall out.

Recommended Mounting Hole Dimensions and Mounting and Dismounting Method
The Photomicrosensor can be mounted to 0.8- to 1.6-mm-thick
panels.
Refer to the above mounting hole dimensions and open the
mounting holes in the panel to which the Photomicrosensor will be
mounted.
Insert into the holes the Photomicrosensor’s mounting portions with
a force of three to five kilograms but do not press in the
Photomicrosensor at one time. The Photomicrosensor can be easily
mounted by inserting the mounting portions halfway and then slowly
pressing the Photomicrosensor onto the panel.
There are two ways to dismount the Photomicrosensor. Refer to the
following.
Dismounting with Screwdriver
Press the mounting hooks of the Photomicrosensor with a flat-blade
screwdriver as shown in the following illustration and pull up the
Photomicrosensor.
Dismounting by Hand
Squeeze the mounting tabs as shown in the following illustration and
press the mounting tabs upwards.
Pressed mounting holes are ideal for mounting the
Photomicrosensor. When mounting the Photomicrosensor to a panel
that has pressed mounting holes for the Photomicrosensor, be sure
to mount the Photomicrosensor on the pressing side of the panel,
otherwise it may be difficult to mount the Photomicrosensor and an
insertion force of five to six kilograms may be required.
When mounting the Photomicrosensor to a panel that has mounting
holes opened by pressing, make sure that the mounting holes have
no burrs, otherwise the lock mechanism of the Photomicrosensor will
not work perfectly. After mounting the Photomicrosensor to a panel,
be sure to check if the lock mechanism is working perfectly.

Recommended Mounting Hole Dimensions and Mounting and Dismounting Method
The Photomicrosensor can be mounted to 0.8- to 1.6-mm-thick
panels.
Refer to the above mounting hole dimensions and open the
mounting holes in the panel to which the Photomicrosensor will be
mounted.
Insert into the holes the Photomicrosensor’s mounting portions with
a force of three to five kilograms but do not press in the
Photomicrosensor at one time. The Photomicrosensor can be easily
mounted by inserting the mounting portions halfway and then slowly
pressing the Photomicrosensor onto the panel.
There are two ways to dismount the Photomicrosensor. Refer to the
following.
Dismounting with Screwdriver
Press the mounting hooks of the Photomicrosensor with a flat-blade
screwdriver as shown in the following illustration and pull up the
Photomicrosensor.
Dismounting by Hand
Squeeze the mounting tabs as shown in the following illustration and
press the mounting tabs upwards.
Pressed mounting holes are ideal for mounting the
Photomicrosensor. When mounting the Photomicrosensor to a panel
that has pressed mounting holes for the Photomicrosensor, be sure
to mount the Photomicrosensor on the pressing side of the panel,
otherwise it may be difficult to mount the Photomicrosensor and an
insertion force of five to six kilograms may be required.
When mounting the Photomicrosensor to a panel that has mounting
holes opened by pressing, make sure that the mounting holes have
no burrs, otherwise the lock mechanism of the Photomicrosensor will
not work perfectly. After mounting the Photomicrosensor to a panel,
be sure to check if the lock mechanism is working perfectly.

Recommended Mounting Holes
When mounting the Photomicrosensor to a panel with a hole opened by pressing, make sure that the hole has no burrs. The mounting strength
of the Photomicrosensor will decrease if the hole has burrs.
When mounting the Photomicrosensor to a panel with a hole opened by pressing, be sure to mount the Photomicrosensor on the pressing side
of the panel.
The mounting strength of the Photomicrosensor will increase if the Photomicrosensor is mounted to a panel with a hole that is only a little larger
than the size of the Photomicrosensor, in which case, however, it will be difficult to mount the Photomicrosensor to the panel. The mounting
strength of the Photomicrosensor will decrease if the Photomicrosensor is mounted to a panel with a hole that is comparatively larger than the
size of the Photomicrosensor, in which case, however, it will be easy to mount the Photomicrosensor to the panel. When mounting the Photomi-
crosensor to a panel, open an appropriate hole for the Photomicrosensor according to the application.
After mounting the Photomicrosensor to any panel, make sure that the Photomicrosensor does not wobble.
When mounting the Photomicrosensor to a molding with a hole, make sure that the edges of the hole are sharp enough, otherwise the Photomi-
crosensor may come fall out.

Precautions
Soldering Information
Reflow soldering
Set the reflow oven so that the temperature profile shown in the fol-
lowing chart is obtained for the upper surface of the product being
soldered.
Manual sold ering
Use a soldering iron of less than 25 W, and keep the temperature
of the iron tip at 260°C or below.
Solder each point for a maximum of three seconds.
After soldering, allow the product to return to room temperature
before handling it.
Storage
To protect the product from the effects of humidity until the package
is opened, dry-box storage is recommended. If this is not possible,
store the product under the following conditions:
Temperature: 5 to 30°C
Humidity: 70% max.
The product is packed in a humidity-proof envelope. Reflow
soldering must be done within 48 hours after opening the envelope,
during which time the product must be stored at 5 to 25°C at 60%
maximum humidity.
If it is necessary to store the product after opening the envelope, use
dry-box storage or reseal the envelope at 5 to 30°C at 70%
maximum humidity within two weeks.
Baking
If a product has remained packed in a humidity-proof envelope for six
months or more, or if more than 48 hours have lapsed since the
envelope was opened, bake the product under the following
conditions before use only one time:
Bulk:125°C for 16 to 24 hours
10 sec. max.
240°C max.

Precautions
Soldering Information
Reflow soldering
The following soldering paste is recommended:
Melting temperature: 178 to 192°C
The recommended thickness of the metal mask for screen printing
is between 0.2 and 0.25 mm.
Set the reflow oven so that the temperature profile shown in the
following chart is obtained for the upper surface of the product
being soldered.
Manual sold ering
Use”Sn 60” (60% tin and 40% lead) or solder with silver content.
Use a soldering iron of less than 25 W, and keep the temperature
of the iron tip at 300°C or below.
Solder each point for a maximum of three seconds.
After soldering, allow the product to return to room temperature
before handling it.
Storage
To protect the product from the effects of humidity until the package
is opened, dry-box storage is recommended. If this is not possible,
store the product under the following conditions:
Temperature: 10 to 30°C
Humidity: 60% max.
The product is packed in a humidity-proof envelope. Reflow
soldering must be done within 48 hours after opening the envelope,
during which time the product must be stored under 30°C at 80%
maximum humidity.
If it is necessary to store the product after opening the envelope, use
dry-box storage or reseal the envelope.
Baking
If a product has remained packed in a humidity-proof envelope for six
months or more, or if more than 48 hours have lapsed since the
envelope was opened, bake the product under the following
conditions before use:
Reel:60°C for 24 hours or more
Bulk:80°C for 24 hours or more

214 Product Quality Control and Reliability
Reliability
Market Product Quality
OMRON is making efforts so that OMRON’s Photomicrosensors can achieve a failure rate of only 10–7/h.
OMRON will continue improving the quality of its products to comply with OMRON Photomicrosensors users’ demand for product quality while
actively providing good after-sales service.
OMRON’s Photomicrosensors achieved a failure rate of 10 ppm. Figure 5 shows the reasons for the return of OMRON Photomicrosensors.
The reasons for approximately two-thirds of the products sent back were that they were not working or they were destroyed. It is possible that they
were not working or they were destructed because excessive voltages were imposed on them or they were not operated properly according to their
specifications. To solve such problems, OMRON is actively holding preliminary meetings with customers who will use OMRON products and advise
them of the operating conditions required by the products while actively providing them with after-sales service.
Reliability
The life of any Photomicrosensor depends on the secular changes of the optical output of the LED built into the Photomicrosensor. The following
are the output characteristics of the Photomicrosensor, all of which depend on the optical output of the LED.
OMRON has been conducting reliability tests of each type of Photomicrosensor to check the secular changes of the optical output of the LED built
into the Photomicrosensor.

Light Current (IL) Secular Changes of Phototransistor Output Photomicrosensor
Note: Secular changes in Photomicrosensor light current (with a phototransistor output circuit) and LED current (with a photo IC output circuit)
during output ON/OFF are generally due to reductions in the LED emission intensity.
The emission intensity of a GaAs infrared LED is shown in the graphs below. The information in these graphs applies to most of the GaAs
infrared LEDs manufactured by OMRON. Because reductions in the emission intensity of an ordinary red LED tend to be larger than those
of an infrared LED, the information in these graphs cannot be applied to ordinary red LEDs. For detailed information, consult your OMRON
representative.

Security Trade Control 223
Security Trad e Control
(As of March 2003 )
Purpose of the Export Controls
To preserve free trade and global security, it is necessary to prevent the proliferation, development, and production of weapons of mass destructions
such as nuclear weapons, biological/chemical weapons, and missile systems. It is also necessary to prevent the accumulation of large amounts of
conventional weapons or weapons–related materials to prevent regional disputes.
Contents of the Export Controls
The following chart provides a simple summary of export controls.
The 3 Export Cont rols
Laws, Ordinances, and Regulations Related to Export Controls
With respect to the Foreign Exchange Laws (Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Laws), etc., it is necessary to obtain approval from the Ministry
of Economy, Trade, and Industry when exporting (or providing to a non–resident) any products or technologies* that require approval. If the
product or technology is exported without approval or inappropriately, an individual will be charged with a criminal offense and a business will be
subject to public penalties as outlined below.
Note: The Export Regulations (Export Exchange Regulations), Foreign Exchange Regulations, and related laws and ordinances specify which
products and technologies require approval for export.
Laws, Or dinances , and Regulations
Catch-all Controls
Catch-all controls is the general terms used for export controls that apply to the export of all products and technologies when 1) it is know that
they will be used for the development or manufacture of weapons of mass destruction or 2) the government has informed an individual or
business of such use. Catch-all controls are replacing the previous list controls.
Catch-all controls were implemented in Japan on April 1, 2002. Refer to the following websites for further information.
Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry: http://www.meti.go.jp/policy/anpo/index.html

224 Security Trade Control
Compliance with the Regulations
As a corporate citizen of Japan and the global community, OMRON has established a Compliance Program to assure compliance with the
regulations outlined above in order to help maintain free trade and global security. We have also planned a training course on export controls.
OMRON determines whether each of its products is subject to export controls and carefully controls transactions so that OMRON products are
not exported inappropriately.
Request to Customers
When exporting goods that require export approval, always obtain approval from an Official of the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry. When
dealing with products that are subject to export controls, take precautions to prevent incorrect exportation even when the products are resold.
When exporting a controlled product, check the final application and end user to verify that the product will not be used in a weapon–related
application such as a weapon itself or weapons research.
Furthermore, always verify that the OMRON product will not be used in any case in a nuclear weapon, missile, chemical weapon, other weapon,
or equipment used to manufacture these weapons.
The limitations described above will be submitted to OMRON or an OMRON sales representative as an approval form or contract, so please fully
understand and comply with these procedures.
If you have any questions, please contact your OMRON representative for further details. These security procedures are based on domestic
Japanese laws and apply to exports from Japan.

Certain Precautions on Specifications and Use
1. Suitability of Use. Omron Companies shall not be responsible for conformity
with any standards, codes or regulations which apply to the combination of the
Product in the Buyer’s application or use of the Product. At Buyer’s request,
Omron will provide applicable third party certification documents identifying
ratings and limitations of use which apply to the Product. This information by
itself is not sufficient for a complete determination of the suitability of the Prod-
uct in combination with the end product, machine, system, or other application
or use. Buyer shall be solely responsible for determining appropriateness of
the particular Product with respect to Buyer’s application, product or system.
Buyer shall take application responsibility in all cases but the following is a
non-exhaustive list of applications for which particular attention must be given:
(i) Outdoor use, uses involving potential chemical contamination or electrical
interference, or conditions or uses not described in this document.
(ii) Use in consumer products or any use in significant quantities.
(iii) Energy control systems, combustion systems, railroad systems, aviation
systems, medical equipment, amusement machines, vehicles, safety equip-
ment, and installations subject to separate industry or government regulations.

erty. Please know and observe all prohibitions of use applicable to this Prod-
uct.
NEVER USE THE PRODUCT FOR AN APPLICATION INVOLVING SERIOUS
RISK TO LIFE OR PROPERTY OR IN LARGE QUANTITIES WITHOUT
ENSURING THAT THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO
ADDRESS THE RISKS, AND THAT THE OMRON’S PRODUCT IS PROP-
ERLY RATED AND INSTALLED FOR THE INTENDED USE WITHIN THE
OVERALL EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM.
2. Programmable Products. Omron Companies shall not be responsible for the
user’s programming of a programmable Product, or any consequence thereof.
3. Performance Data. Data presented in Omron Company websites, catalogs
and other materials is provided as a guide for the user in determining suitabil-
ity and does not constitute a warranty. It may represent the result of Omron’s
test conditions, and the user must correlate it to actual application require-
ments. Actual performance is subject to the Omron’s Warranty and Limitations
of Liability.
4. Change in Specifications. Product specifications and accessories may be
changed at any time based on improvements and other reasons. It is our prac-
tice to change part numbers when published ratings or features are changed,
or when significant construction changes are made. However, some specifica-
tions of the Product may be changed without any notice. When in doubt, spe-
cial part numbers may be assigned to fix or establish key specifications for
your application. Please consult with your Omron’s representative at any time
to confirm actual specifications of purchased Product.
5. Errors and Omissions. Information presented by Omron Companies has been
checked and is believed to be accurate; however, no responsibility is assumed
for clerical, typographical or proofreading errors or omissions.
