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 microcontrollers.

The sensor features strong ambient light rejection, fast response, and a compact form factor. It includes a housing with mounting holes, allowing for secure installation in applications where waterproofing may be required (e.g. smart taps and hand washers).

Key Features

  • Digital Output – Simple high/low level signal
  • Fast Response – 100 µs response time
  • Ambient Light Rejection – Strong anti-interference to external light
  • Compact Size – Easy to embed in detection devices
  • Mounting Housing – Includes housing with mounting holes for waterproof installation
  • Long Lifetime – 50,000 hours

Specifications

  • Operating Voltage – 5 V
  • Operating Current – <30 mA
  • Power – <100 mW
  • Sensing Range – 10 ±5 mm to 80 ±20 mm
  • Response Time – 100 µs
  • Operating Temperature – −20 to 75 °C
  • Storage Temperature – −20 to 80 °C
  • Operating Humidity – <70%

Ideal For

  • Automatic hand washers and smart taps
  • Object proximity detection switches
  • Smart home and appliance automation

Package Contents

  • 1× Infrared Proximity Sensor

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

Proximity sensor
A sensor that detects the presence of a nearby object without physical contact, using methods such as infrared, ultrasonic, capacitive, inductive or time-of-flight. Useful ranges vary widely between types, from a few millimetres to several metres, so check a given sensor's specified range to see whether it suits close-up touch-free triggers or longer-distance detection.
