Abstract:
    We present the catalog of 1459 eclipsing binary stars detected in the
    central 2.4 square degree area of the Small Magellanic Cloud during
    the OGLE-II microlensing search. The sample includes objects brighter
    than I∼20mag with periods ranging from about 0.3 to 250 days. The
    average completeness of the catalog is about 80%. Statistics of the
    entire sample and well detached systems, suitable for distance
    determination, are also presented.
