Description
The TCRT5000 is an infrared reflective sensor module commonly used for proximity detection and line tracking. It consists of an infrared emitter and a phototransistor arranged side by side in a compact housing. The emitter emits infrared light, which is reflected by nearby objects, and the phototransistor detects the intensity of the reflected light.
This sensor module is widely used in robotics projects and automation. It can also be used to detect the presence or absence of objects by measuring the intensity of the reflected infrared light. Additionally, it is utilized in robots for line tracking, where it can detect and follow lines in contrasting colors.
The TCRT5000 operates within a supply voltage range of 3.3 V to 5 V. The breakout provides both digital and analog information through the easyC system. You can access data from the sensor via easyC.
Application Recommendation for this Product:
Two mounting holes allow for easy attachment to surfaces.
