Reflective Sensor TCRT5000


The TCRT5000 and TCRT5000L are reflective sensors
which include an infrared emitter and phototransistor in a
leaded package which blocks visible light. The package
includes two mounting clips. TCRT5000L is the long lead
version.

Features:


• Package type: leaded

• Detector type: phototransistor

• Dimensions (L x W x H in mm): 10.2 x 5.8 x 7

• Peak operating distance: 2.5 mm

• Typical output current under test: IC = 1 mA

• Daylight blocking filter

• Emitter wavelength: 950 nm

• Lead (Pb)-free soldering released

• Compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC and in accordance to WEEE 2002/96/EC

Applications:


• Position sensor for shaft encoder
• Detection of reflective material such as paper, IBM cards,
magnetic tapes etc.
• Limit switch for mechanical motions in VCR
• General purpose - wherever the space is limited
