Infrared & Thermal Sensors

SKU: EF-EF04012 | Brand: ElecFreaks

Photo Interrupter Sensor is a sensor module based on ITR9608 photoelectric switch, together with special Arduino shield in use. It has been widely used in parts counting, motor speed and so on. Three pins electronic b...

SKU: AF-1031 | Brand: Adafruit

This SHARP distance sensor bounces IR off objects to determine how far away they are. It returns an analog voltage that can be used to determine how close the nearest object is. Comes with 8" long 3-JST interface wire...

SKU: SF-SEN-14349 | Brand: SparkFun

This is not your normal Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor! The SparkFun AK9753 Human Presence Sensor Breakout is a Qwiic-enabled, 4-channel Nondispersive Infrared (NDIR) sensor. Each channel has a different field of view...

SKU: AF-466 | Brand: Adafruit

The VCNL4010 sensor is a nice way to add a small-distance proximity sensor to your microcontroller project. For longer distances (in the range of cm, you can use a SHARP IR distance sensor, but those are only good ...

SKU: AF-164 | Brand: Adafruit

The Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F is an infrared distance sensor that measures distances from 10 cm to 80 cm by bouncing IR light off objects. It outputs an analogue voltage proportional to distance — approximately 3 V at 10 cm ...

SKU: DF-SEN0455 | Brand: DFRobot

This diffuse reflection infrared photoelectric switch detects opaque objects across an adjustable 0-7m range, making it useful for presence sensing in automation and access control projects.It runs from a 6-36V power ...

SKU: AF-6461 | Brand: Adafruit

This compact breakout combines RGB colour sensing, true lux light measurement and infrared proximity detection in one I2C device. With library code running on your microcontroller, it can read red, green, blue and cle...

SKU: AF-6064 | Brand: Adafruit

Need approximate distance sensing over tens of centimetres to around a metre, plus ambient light measurement from the same board? This breakout carries Vishay’s VCNL4200, a two-in-one IR proximity and ambient light se...

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...

SKU: PL-2461 | Brand: Pololu

Discontinuation notice: These original (irs05a) versions of our 38 kHz IR proximity sensors have been replaced by newer (irs05b) high-brightness and low-brightness versions. The main changes are the locations o...

SKU: LB-00061 | Brand: Little Bird

OverviewDeveloped as a quick starter board for the less experienced we envision this board as the follow up to your first soldering session.In isolation this board will produce a middle C note by hovering over the boa...

SKU: AF-5940 | Brand: Adafruit

This breakout uses Vishay's TSSP77038 infrared demodulator to give you the raw demodulated output from a 38kHz IR signal, without the extra filtering used in typical remote-control receivers. That makes it a handy cho...

SKU: SF-SEN-30161 | Brand: SparkFun

Built around the VCNL4040, this tiny Qwiic Micro breakout provides short-range presence detection for projects where space and weight are tight. It is designed for qualitative sensing: detecting whether an object is p...
