Description

TCRT5000 Reflective IR sensor photoelectric switch

The TCRT5000 Reflective IR sensor photoelectric switch is perfect for line tracking robot car like DIY projects. TCRT5000 is a reflective sensor which includes an infrared emitter and phototransistor in a leaded package which blocks visible light.

These are the set of replacement IR LED including both emitter and receiver for our Line Sensor Modules.
