Infrared Photoelectric Switch

This infrared photoelectric switch consists of a transmitter and receiver pair that detects objects at distances up to 1.5 m with a response time under 1 ms. The infrared beam provides stable detection regardless of ambient lighting, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use across a −20 °C to 65 °C operating range.

Running on 9–24 V DC with an NPN three-wire output, the switch integrates easily into industrial control systems, Arduino or PLC projects, and robotics platforms for object detection, counting, and timing applications.
