1、Description:
The TCRT5000(L) has a compact construction where the emitting-light source and the detector are arranged in the same direction to sense the presence of an ob-ject by using the reflective IR beam from the object. The operating wavelength is 950 mm. The detector consists of a phototransistor.
2、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
3、Features:
Snap-in construction for PCB mounting
Package height: 7 mm
Plastic polycarbonate housing construction which prevents crosstalk
L = long leads
Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) of typical 10%
