Breakouts
Breakout boards make it easy to prototype with surface-mount ICs, sensors, displays, and interfaces by bringing tiny pins out to breadboard-friendly headers. Whether you're working with ADCs, OLEDs, TFT displays, or coin cell holders, our range has you covered.
Perfect for makers, students, and engineers across Australia — get your prototyping essentials delivered fast so you can spend more time building and less time waiting.
IR Break Beam Sensor - 3mm LEDs
SKU: AF-2167 | Brand: Adafruit
Infrared (IR) break-beam sensors are a simple way to detect motion. They work by having an emitter side that sends out a beam of human-invisible IR light, then a receiver across the way which is sensitive to tha...
