Infrared (IR) Sensor is a widely used electronic device that detects infrared light in its environment. IR sensors are commonly used for proximity detection, motion sensing, and distance measurement.
Specifications
- Operating Voltage: 3.3V to 5V DC.
- Infrared Wavelength: Commonly around 850–940 nm, depending on the LED used.
- Response Time: Fast response time, usually in milliseconds, making it ideal for real-time applications.
- Signal Type: Usually provides a digital output (high or low signal) to indicate detection, or an analog output that varies with distance in some models.
