QTRX-MD-08A Reflectance Sensor Array: 8-Channel, 8mm Pitch, Analog Output, Low Current

The QTRX-MD-08A Reflectance Sensor Array is a high-performance, 8-channel sensor with an 8mm pitch. It offers analog output and low current. The dimensions of the array are 61.0mm x 20.0mm. The maximum current for the LED is 3.5mA, while the board can handle up to 17mA. The optimal range for this array is 10mm.

The QTRX-MD-08A Reflectance Sensor Array is an excellent tool for identifying changes in reflectance with precision. This makes it highly suitable for applications such as line detection. The array operates effectively within a voltage range of 2.9V to 5.5V. It also provides the option to control brightness levels independently of the supply voltage.

The closer the object to the array, the higher the contrast between light and dark readings. However, it's worth noting that high-reflectance objects can generally be detected up to a distance of approximately 40mm. The QTRX-MD-08A Reflectance Sensor Array features QTRX sensors with lenses, enhancing its performance while maintaining a low current draw.

This sensor array from Pololu offers a unique combination of precision, performance, and power efficiency. Whether you're working on a robotics project or developing a sophisticated detection system, the QTRX-MD-08A Reflectance Sensor Array is a reliable and versatile solution.
