Each compact sensor,\r\nsized comes in a durable plastic casing with metal pins that ensure secure\r\nconnections to breadboards or PCBs. The transmitter-receiver pair works by\r\nemitting an infrared beam—when an object breaks the beam, the sensor sends a\r\nsignal, making it ideal for detecting presence or movement in short-range\r\napplications.As a photoelectric switch, it operates on 5V DC, matching the\r\nvoltage requirements of popular microcontrollers Built-in indicator LEDs let\r\nyou quickly verify power and detection status, simplifying setup even for\r\nbeginners. With a detection range of up to 30cm, it’s perfect for projects\r\nlike DIY robot obstacle avoidance, automatic feeders, or cabinet door sensors\r\nthat don’t require long-distance sensing.The sensor’s versatility shines in\r\nvarious applications: pair it with wireless modules to create remote switch\r\nsystems for home automation, or use it as a photocell IR beam device for\r\nlight-triggered projects. Its small form factor fits into tight spaces, making\r\nit suitable for compact appliances or wearable tech prototypes. Whether you’re\r\nreplacing a mechanical switch, adding presence detection to a project, or\r\nexperimenting with basic electronics, this infrared break beam sensor set\r\noffers a straightforward, cost-effective solution.\u003c\/p\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\r\n         \u003cli\u003eAs a photoelectric switch, this device operates by emitting an invisible infrared beam; when an object blocks the beam, the switch triggers a signal change. It has a detection distance of up to 30cm, making it suitable for short-range sensing tasks. The simple design allows for quick wiring without complex calibration steps.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n         \u003cli\u003eDesigned as a light sensor module, it features built-in voltage regulation, supporting 5V DC input, which is compatible with most microcontrollers.The module includes indicator LEDs that show power and detection status, helping users troubleshoot connections easily during setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n         \u003cli\u003eThis remote switch ir sensor can be paired with wireless modules for remote control applications, such as automatic door openers or security alarms. Infrared sensor compact size enables installation in tight spaces, like inside small appliances or DIY robot projects. The non-contact sensing method reduces wear compared to mechanical switches.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n         \u003cli\u003eBeyond basic sensing, it functions as a photocell ir beam device, responding to infrared light changes, and can be used alongside a laser photoelectric sensor for enhanced precision in projects requiring accurate object detection. Its also a versatile alternative to a distance sensor for simple presence detection tasks in hobby or industrial projects.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KAIOULU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44103342063796,"sku":"B0FP9HP6LG","price":93.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/9906\/1172\/files\/B0FP9HP6LG.jpg?v=1775784068","url":"https:\/\/auspowers.com\/products\/3-pairs-infrared-break-beam-sensor-switch-photoelectric-sensor-for-diy-electronics-automation-projects-industrial-controls-compact-light-sensor-module-for-hobbyists-and-engineers","provider":"AusPower Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
