Description

TCRT5000 reflection sensor with comparator for Arduino

Optical (reflective) sensor module with CTRT5000 comparator, detecting obstacles with high accuracy.

Ideal sensor for obstacle detection for installation in smart robots.

• Universal reflective (optical) sensor. The transmitter is an IR diode and the receiver is a phototransistor (TCRT5000 kit).
• Thanks to the comparator, the module has a binary output (D0) on which there is a low level (0V) or high level (5V – supply voltage).
• Sensor enables object detection at distances up to 12mm.
• The module has an output: digital
• Power supply: 3.3V – 5V
• Range: 1mm – 25mm
• Current consumption max 20mA
• Operating temperature 10-30*C
• Connector: goldpin, spacing 2.54mm
• Dimensions: 30 x 10 mm
• digital (binary D0),
• vcc power supply (+3.3V – 5V)
• GND (0V ground)

Application of CTRT5000

• line detector in line follower robots
• shaft position sensor for encoder
• as a limit switch
• substrate color detection (black/white)
