Mid-Sized Housed Encoder
Data Sheet
ESD WARNING: Normal Handling Precautions should be taken to avoid static discharge.
Description
The HEDR-542x series are high performance, cost-e ec-
tive, two-channel optional incremental housed encoders.
These encoders emphasize high reliability, high resolution,
and easy assembly. The HEDR-542x housed encoders use
re ective technology to sense rotary position. This sensor
consists of an LED light source and a photodetector IC in
a single SO-8 surface mount package. The outputs of the
HEDR-542x encoders are two square waves in quadrature.
These encoders may be quickly and easily mounted to a
motor.
Applications
The HEDR-542x provides motion detection at a low cost,
making them ideal for high volume applications. Typical
applications include vending machines and motor manu-
facturing applications.
Note: Avago Technologies encoders are not recommend-
ed for use in safety critical applications. Eg. ABS braking
systems, power steering, life support systems and critical
care medical equipment. Please contact sales representa-
tive if more clari cation is needed.
