Pololu QTRX-MD-01RC Reflectance Sensor: 1-Channel, 7.5mm Wide, RC Output, Low Current

The QTRX-MD-01RC Reflectance Sensor is a highly efficient, low-current device with a single channel and a compact size of 7.5mm x 20.0mm. It is equipped with an RC (digital) output and utilizes a maximum current of 3.5mA for the LED and 5mA for the board. The sensor is designed to operate optimally at a range of 10mm. The sensor incorporates an IR LED/phototransistor pair, making it an excellent tool for accurately identifying changes in reflectance, such as line detection. It is engineered to operate from a power supply ranging from 2.9V to 5.5V. Additionally, it provides the convenience of dimmable brightness control that is independent of the supply voltage.One of the unique properties of the QTRX-MD-01RC Reflectance Sensor is its ability to deliver high contrast between light and dark readings when the object is closer. However, it can also effectively detect high-reflectance objects at a distance of up to 30mm. This version of the sensor is enhanced with high-performance QTRX technology and is fitted with lenses for superior performance.With its advanced features and compact design, the QTRX-MD-01RC Reflectance Sensor is a versatile and reliable choice for a variety of applications. Whether it's for robotics, automation systems, or other projects requiring precise reflectance detection, this sensor delivers accurate and consistent results.
