The document provides specifications for the TCRT1000 and TCRT1010 reflective optical sensors. The sensors include an infrared emitter and phototransistor in a leaded package, and are designed to detect the presence or absence of objects within 1 mm of the sensor surface. Key specifications include a peak operating distance of 1 mm, typical output current of 0.5 mA, and operating range of 0.2-4 mm for relative collector current above 20%. Applications include optoelectronic scanning and switching devices.
