Description

The TCRT5000 Phototransistor Optical Sensor is a compact reflective infrared sensor used for proximity sensing, object detection, and line-following applications. It integrates an infrared emitter (IR LED) and a phototransistor detector in a single package, making it ideal for detecting objects or surface variations based on reflected IR light.

With its narrow detection range and high sensitivity, the TCRT5000 is widely used in robotics, automation systems, line-following robots, and position encoders. It can easily interface with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller platforms, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced users.

Key Features

Combines IR transmitter and phototransistor in one package
Detects reflected IR light from nearby objects or surfaces
Ideal for line-followers, edge detection, and proximity sensing
Compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic (Arduino, ESP32, etc.)
Compact and reliable design for embedded use
Low cost and widely supported in open-source projects
