QTRX-HD-01RC Reflectance Sensor: 1-Channel, 5mm Wide, RC Output, Low Current

The QTRX-HD-01RC Reflectance Sensor is a compact, reliable, and efficient device designed to detect changes in reflectance with precision. It features a single sensor with a size of 5.0 x 20.0 mm, providing RC (digital) output. The sensor operates at a maximum current of 3.5 mA for the LED and 5 mA for the board, making it a low-current solution. It functions optimally within a range of 10 mm.

The Reflectance Sensor is powered by an IR LED/phototransistor pair, making it an excellent choice for applications such as line detection. It operates within a voltage range of 2.9 V to 5.5 V. One of the standout features of this sensor is its dimmable brightness control, which operates independently of the supply voltage. This ensures that the sensor can adapt to varying light conditions, providing reliable and consistent results.

When it comes to detecting objects, the Reflectance Sensor offers high contrast between light and dark readings for closer objects. However, it also has the capability to detect high-reflectance objects at a distance of up to 30 mm. This wide detection range, coupled with the sensor's precision, opens up a myriad of possible applications.

This version of the Reflectance Sensor is equipped with a high-performance QTRX sensor with lenses. This enhancement enables the sensor to provide superior performance while maintaining a low current draw, making it an energy-efficient solution for your sensing needs.
