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

The Pololu QTR-MD-06RC Reflectance Sensor Array is a 6-channel device with an 8mm pitch and RC output. It features a compact size of 45.0mm by 20.0mm and is capable of handling a maximum current of 30mA for the LED and 93mA for the board. The device operates optimally at a range of 5mm. The QTR-MD-06RC is equipped with an array of IR LED/phototransistor pairs, making it an excellent tool for detecting changes in reflectance with precision. This makes it ideal for applications such as line detection. The sensor array operates within a voltage range of 2.9V to 5.5V and offers the advantage of dimmable brightness control that is independent of the supply voltage.The closer the object to the sensor, the higher the contrast between light and dark readings. However, objects with high reflectance are generally detectable up to a distance of around 40mm. The QTR-MD-06RC Reflectance Sensor Array features the traditional-style QTR sensors without lenses, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications.Whether you are working on a robotics project or a high-tech installation, the Pololu QTR-MD-06RC Reflectance Sensor Array offers a reliable and efficient solution for detecting changes in reflectance. Its compact size, high maximum current, and wide operational range make it a versatile and practical component for any project.
