Infrared & Thermal Sensors

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: 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: 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: DF-SEN0042 | Brand: DFRobot

A compact digital infrared distance sensor from DFRobot's Gravity range, designed for edge detection and close-range proximity sensing. It detects objects within 1–10 cm and outputs a simple digital HIGH/LOW signal — ...

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Discontinuation notice: These original (irs05a) versions of our 38 kHz IR proximity sensors have been replaced by newer (irs05b) high-brightness and low-brightness versions.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