Product Features
- Integrated Design: Combines an infrared emitter and a phototransistor in a single package, minimizing external component requirements.
- Visible Light Blocking: Designed with a housing that blocks visible light to reduce interference from ambient lighting conditions.
- Adjustable Detection Range: Effective sensing range from 0.2 mm to 15 mm, suitable for various proximity detection tasks.
- Compact Form Factor: Package dimensions of 10.2 mm x 5.8 mm x 7 mm, facilitating easy integration into space-constrained designs.
- Mounting Flexibility: Available in standard and long-lead versions (TCRT5000L), offering versatility for different mounting requirements.
Product Applications
- Line-Following Robots: Detects the contrast between the line and the surface to guide robotic movement.
- Object Proximity Sensing: Measures the distance to objects, enabling obstacle detection and avoidance.
- Speed Detection: Monitors the speed of rotating parts by counting interruptions in the sensor’s field.
- Paper Positioning: Ensures accurate alignment in printers and copiers by detecting paper edges.
- Security Systems: Detects unauthorized movement by sensing changes in reflected infrared light.
