## Description

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 Resources Product Wiki
