Infrared & Thermal Sensors

SKU: LB-LR0062 | Brand: Little Bird

This IR sensor can detect obstacles in front of it.  When an object is detected the green indicator light on the board will light up. There is a low-level output signal on the OUT port.It has a detection range of...

SKU: LB-FLAME-LIGHT | Brand: Little Bird

This IR flame sensor module detects flames and infrared light sources in the 760–1,100 nm wavelength range. With a detection angle of approximately 60° and a test range of up to 80 cm (depending on flame size), it pro...

SKU: LB-OWL-IR | Brand: Little Bird

An infrared receiver module that can read signals from most standard IR remote controls. Useful for adding remote control functionality to Arduino and microcontroller projects. Pair with an IR transmitter module to bu...

SKU: LB-LR0006 | Brand: Little Bird

The infrared obstacle sensor is a compact IR proximity module designed for robotics and automation projects. It detects obstacles within a 2–40 cm range and outputs a TTL-level signal, making it easy to integrate with...

SKU: DF-SEN0158 | Brand: DFRobot

Want a robot to hunt down heat objects or navigated with fire? This is a small form factor IR camera capable of tracking up to four heat/IR sources. The applications are plenty and can go from tracking of robots wi...

SKU: DF-SEN0206 | Brand: DFRobot

INTRODUCTION We can divide temperature measurement in to two types: contact and non-contact. Contact measurement can only accurately measure temperature when the testing object and the se...

SKU: AF-2168 | 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 that s...

SKU: DF-SEN0556 | Brand: DFRobot

An infrared proximity sensor that detects objects at distances of 10 ±5 mm to 80 ±20 mm by measuring reflected IR energy. It outputs a simple high/low digital signal, making it easy to integrate with Arduino and other...

SKU: AF-3595 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit APDS9960 is a multi-function sensor that combines proximity detection, ambient light sensing, RGB colour sensing and gesture recognition in a single I2C breakout. It uses an integrated IR LED and four dir...

SKU: AF-4161 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit VCNL4040 is a two-in-one proximity and ambient light sensor from Vishay. It measures proximity from 0 to 200 mm (~7.5 inches) using an on-board IR LED, and ambient light from 0.0125 to 6,553 lux — all ove...

SKU: DF-SEN0263 | Brand: DFRobot

We can divide temperature measurement in to two types: contact and non-contact. Contact measurement can only accurately measure temperature when the testing object and the sensor reach thermal equilibrium. This ca...

SKU: PL-2578 | Brand: Pololu

This module features a fixed-gain, 38 kHz modulated IR sensor and a corresponding IR LED with oscillator circuit to make a tiny proximity sensor. This high-brightness version draws an average of 16 mA at 5&...

SKU: PL-2454 | Brand: Pololu

The QTR-L-1A reflectance sensor incorporates a right-angle infrared LED and a right-angle phototransistor in an inexpensive, tiny 0.35″ × 0.3″ module that can be mounted almost anywhere and is great for e...

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: SF-SEN-11859 | Brand: SparkFun

This is not your typical temperature sensor. The TMP006 Breakout can measure the temperature of an object without making contact with it. By using a thermopile to detect and absorb the infrared energy an object is emi...

SKU: AF-3538 | Brand: Adafruit

Add heat-vision to your project with the Adafruit AMG8833 Grid-EYE Breakout. This sensor from Panasonic contains an 8×8 array of infrared thermal sensors that returns 64 individual temperature readings over I2C — like...

SKU: AF-6403 | Brand: Adafruit

This compact breakout uses Melexis' MLX90632 FIR sensor to read the temperature of a target without making contact. It's handy for checking surfaces that are hot, cold, moving, delicate or awkward to reach with a prob...

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: SF-SEN-10740 | Brand: SparkFun

An evaluation board for the MLX90614 non-contact infrared thermometer sensor. It pairs the MLX90614 with an ATmega328 running at 3.3 V (8 MHz Arduino bootloader), giving you a ready-to-use IR temperature sensor with s...
