Description
The HBCC-15XX series sensors
are fully integrated modules
designed for applications requir-
ing optical reflective sensing. The
modules contain a 655 nm (or 820
nm) LED emitter and a photo-
diode. A bifurcated aspheric lens
is used to image the active areas
of the emitter and detector to a
single spot 4.27 mm (0.168 in.) in
front of the package. The output
signal is a current generated by
the photodiode.
Applications
The HBCC-15XX sensors are
intended for use with the Hewlett-
Packard HBCC-0500 and HBCC-
0600 low current digitizer ICs, or

with suitable PCB assemblies
provided by HP for use with these
sensors. The HBCC-15XX sensors
have been characterized for use
only with Hewlett-Packard’s
digitizer IC technology. Use of
these sensors in designs or appli-
cations other than those stated is
at the customer’s risk.

Considerations
The HBCC-15XX series are
packaged in a high profile 8 pin
TO-5 metal can with a glass
window. The LED and photodiode
are mounted on a header at the
base of the package. Positioned
above these active elements is a
bifurcated aspheric acrylic lens
that focuses them to the same
point.
The sensor can be rigidly secured
by commercially available TO-5
style heat sinks or 8 pin 0.200 inch
diameter pin circle sockets. These
fixtures provide a stable reference
platform for affixing the HBCC-
15XX sensors to a circuit board.
In applications requiring contact
scanning (such as bar code
reading), protective focusing tips
are available. Focusing tips are
available in either metal or poly-
carbonate packages using a
sapphire ball as the contact
surface. The Hewlett-Packard part
numbers are HBCS-2999, HBCS-
4999, HBCS-A998, and
HBCS-A999.

Electrical Operation
The sensor detector is a pn
photodiode. The LED cathode is
physically and electrically con-
nected to the case-substrate of the
sensor.
The HBCC-15XX sensors are
characterized for use with Hewlett-
Packard’s low current digitizer
ICs. The digitizer IC part numbers
are HBCC-0500 and HBCC-0600.

Notes:
1. CAUTION: The thermal constraints of the acrylic lens will not permit conventional wave soldering procedures. The typical
preheat and post-soldering cleaning procedures and dwell times can subject lens to thermal stresses beyond the absolute
maximum ratings and can cause it to defocus.
2. These sensors are specified for use with the drive conditions provided by the HBCC-0500 and HBCC-0600 Digitizer IC ONLY.
3. When used with HBCC-0500 or HBCC-0600 digitizer ICs.
4. At all combinations of pulse width and duty cycle.
5. Voltage differential between Pin 1 and Pin 8 with Pin 8 taken as reference. Exceeding maximum conditions may cause permanent
damage to photodiode or to chip metallization.

Notes:
6. Measured from a reflector coated with 99% diffuse reflective white paint (Kodak 6080) positioned 4.27 mm (0.168 in.) from the
reference plane. Measured physically is the total photocurrent, Ipt, which consists of a signal (reflected from target) component,
Ipr, and a component induced by reflections internal to the sensor (stray), Ips. Ipt = Ipr + Ips. Specified is the reflected signal
component, Ipr.
7. See Bin Table
8. <Q> = Ipr/Ipt
9. Measured from reference plane (R.P.) of sensor.
10. Photocurrent variation with temperature varies with LED output which follows a natural exponential law:
Ip(T) = Ip(To)*exp[Ke(T-To)]
11. OSR is defined as the distance for a 10%-90% “step” response of Ipr as the sensor moves over an abrupt black-white edge, or from
opaque white to free space (no reflection).
