TCRT 5000 Obstacle Avoidance Infrared Tracking Sensor Module for Arduino

TCRT 5000 Obstacle Avoidance Infrared Tracking Sensor Module for Arduino is a reflective sensors which includes an infrared emitter and phototransistor in a leaded package which blocks visible light. The package includes two mounting clips.
TCRT5000 infrared sensor constantly emits infrared light emitting diode, when the emitted infrared rays are not reflected or reflected back but the intensity is not big enough, the phototransistor has been in the off state, then the output of the module is low, indicating diode has been in the off state; when the detected object present in the detection range, infrared rays are reflected back and with sufficient strength, phototransistor saturated, then the output of the module is high, indicator LED is lit.
