4306 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Pololu 4306 QTRX-HD-06RC is a 6-channel reflectance sensor array designed for precise line detection and reflectance measurement. It uses QTRX high-performance, low-current phototransistor sensors with lenses, arranged at a 4mm pitch on a compact 25.0 x 20.0 x 3.0 mm board.

 

The array operates from 2.9V to 5.5V and features dimmable brightness control independent of supply voltage, with separate controls for odd and even emitters. Each sensor outputs a digital RC (resistor-capacitor) signal that can be read in parallel as timed high pulses. The full-brightness LED current is 3.5 mA, and the maximum board current is 14 mA.

 

The optimal sensing distance is 10 mm, with a maximum recommended sensing distance of 40 mm for high-reflectance objects. The board weighs 1.5 g and includes mounting holes for #2 and M2 screws. Supplied contents include the board and accessories.
