Description: 1. TCRT5000 is an Infrared Reflective Sensor Module, capable of detecting proximity or distance by measuring the reflected infrared light intensity. 2. Features: It comes with an adjustable gain amplifier and a calibrated phototransistor for improved sensitivity and accuracy. The sensor module has a wide detection range from 0mm to 35mm and a working voltage of 4.5V to 5.5V. 3. Interface: This sensor module uses an analog output, with a variable resistance proportional to the intensity of reflected infrared light. An external resistor is required for proper operation; a recommended value is 10KOhm. 4. Applications: TCRT5000 can be used in various projects, including automatic door opening systems, proximity sensors, obstacle detection in robotics, and interactive toys. 5. Unique Benefits: Its adjustable gain amplifier allows fine-tuning to different environments or object sizes, while its compact size makes it ideal for integration into numerous DIY and IoT projects. 6.
