Description: 1. TCRT5000 IR Sensors (Pack of 5) are infrared reflective type sensors designed for object detection and distance measurement applications. 2. Features: Each sensor has an adjustable gain amplifier, output voltage proportional to the sensed reflectance, and a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). 3. Operation: These sensors operate by measuring the IR light reflected off objects, which helps determine their distance or presence. The analog voltage output varies based on the degree of reflection. 4. Applications: TCRT5000 sensors are widely used in robotics for object detection and following lines, as well as in industrial automation, home security systems, and various other projects where detecting objects' proximity or presence is essential. 5. Advantages: Compared to traditional phototransistor sensors, TCRT5000 offers a higher sensitivity and the ability to distinguish between different reflective surfaces, making them suitable for more complex sensing tasks. 6.
