QTRX-HD-13RC Reflectance Sensor Array: 13-Channel, 4mm Pitch, RC Output, Low Current

The QTRX-HD-13RC Reflectance Sensor Array is a 13-channel device with a 4mm pitch and RC output. It is a compact, low current sensor, measuring just 53.0mm x 20.0mm. The sensor array operates from a 2.9V to 5.5V power supply and has a maximum LED current of 3.5mA and board current of 31mA. It is optimally designed to function within a range of 10mm.

The QTRX-HD-13RC is equipped with an array of IR LED/phototransistor pairs, making it an excellent tool for identifying changes in reflectance, such as line detection. It has the added benefit of dimmable brightness control that is independent of the supply voltage. This feature, along with separate controls for the odd and even emitters, allows for greater flexibility and precision in its operation.

One of the unique properties of this sensor array is its high-performance, low-current QTRX sensors with lenses. These sensors are designed to provide high contrast between light and dark readings when the object is closer. However, they are also capable of detecting high-reflectance objects at distances of up to 40mm. This makes the QTRX-HD-13RC a versatile tool for a variety of applications.

Whether you're building a robot that needs to follow a line or designing a system that requires precise detection of changes in reflectance, the QTRX-HD-13RC Reflectance Sensor Array is a reliable and efficient solution. Its compact size, low current requirements, and high performance make it a valuable addition to your project.
