Pololu QTRX-MD-06RC Reflectance Sensor Array: 6-Channel, 8mm Pitch, RC Output, Low Current

The QTRX-MD-06RC Reflectance Sensor Array is a 6-channel, 8mm pitch, RC output, low current device that is perfect for identifying changes in reflectance with high precision. Measuring 45.0mm x 20.0mm in size, it operates within a voltage range of 2.9V to 5.5V and features a maximum LED current of 3.5mA and a board current of 14mA. The optimal range for this sensor array is 10mm. The QTRX-MD-06RC Reflectance Sensor Array is designed with an array of infrared (IR) LED/phototransistor pairs. This makes it ideal for line detection applications, as it can accurately identify changes in reflectance. The sensor array offers dimmable brightness control that operates independently of the supply voltage, providing flexibility in various lighting conditions.One of the unique properties of this sensor array is its high-performance, low-current QTRX sensors with lenses. These sensors are capable of detecting high-reflectance objects up to approximately 40mm. In general, the closer the object, the higher the contrast between light and dark readings, making this sensor array highly effective in differentiating between objects based on their reflectance.With its compact size and high precision, the QTRX-MD-06RC Reflectance Sensor Array is a versatile tool that can be utilized in a wide range of applications. Whether you're building a robot that needs to follow a line, or developing a system that requires precise object detection, this sensor array is a reliable choice.
