Reflective Optical Sensor with Transistor Output
TCRT5000(L)
Vishay Telefunken
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.
Applications
D Position sensor for shaft encoder
D Detection of reflective material such as paper,
IBM cards, magnetic tapes etc.
D Limit switch for mechanical motions in VCR
D General purpose – wherever the space is limited
Features
D Snap-in construction for PCB mounting
D Package height: 7 mm
D Plastic polycarbonate housing construction
which prevents crosstalk
D L = long leads
D Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) of typical 10%
