TCRT5000 Line Tracking Sensor Module - 4P Infrared Reflective Sensor

The TCRT5000 Infrared Sensor Module is a compact and high-performance line tracking and object detection sensor. It is widely used in robotics, automation, and embedded systems. This module is perfect for line follower robots, sumo robots, and mini robotic projects. It incorporates a high-speed, high-sensitivity TCRT5000 IR sensor and features a digital output with adjustable sensitivity through an onboard potentiometer.

🔧 Key Features

• 📏 Detection Range: Approximately 0–30 cm on a bright white surface, and around 0–10 cm on a matte black surface
• 🎚️ Adjustable Sensitivity: Onboard potentiometer for easy adjustment
• ⚡ Operating Voltage: 5V DC
• 🔌 Output Type: Digital (High = object detected)
• 💡 Onboard Indicator LED: Illuminates when an object is detected
• 📦 Connector: 4-pin interface (VCC, GND, DO, AO optional)
• 📐 Module Dimensions: 30mm × 16mm
• 🔗 Included: Female-to-Female jumper wires for easy prototyping

🛠️ Applications

• 🤖 Line-following robots
• 🚗 Obstacle and edge detection systems
• 🔄 Rotary encoders and position feedback
• 📦 Object counting systems
• 🎮 DIY Arduino and microcontroller projects

📌 How It Works

• ✅ When an object is detected, the digital output pin provides 5V HIGH.
• ❌ When no object is detected, the output remains at 0V LOW.

With its affordable price, compact design, and user-friendly interface, the TCRT5000 module is a popular choice for both educational and professional robotics projects. Whether you're an electronics engineer or a hobbyist working on Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other microcontroller projects, this module offers the precision and versatility you need.
