TCRT5000 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Vishay TCRT5000 is a reflective optical sensor featuring a phototransistor output. This component is housed in a leaded package suitable for PCB mounting via through-hole technology. It offers a sensing distance of up to 15mm with a peak operating distance of 2.5mm.

 

The sensor operates with a maximum forward current of 60mA and a collector emitter voltage of 70V. It includes a daylight blocking filter and emits infrared light at a wavelength of 950nm. The operating temperature range is from -25°C to +85°C.

 

Applications for the TCRT5000 include position sensing for shaft encoders, detection of reflective materials like paper and magnetic tapes, and as a limit switch for mechanical motions. Its compact size and reflective sensing capability make it suitable for general-purpose use where space is limited.

 

The TCRT5000 is RoHS3 compliant and lead-free soldering is supported. It is supplied in tube packaging with a minimum order quantity of 4500 pieces.
