## Description

The BL412 is a compact passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor designed for detecting movement from people and animals at distances of approximately 3–8 m. Much smaller than standard PIR modules, it is well suited for unobtrusive projects and fits easily on breadboards or perfboard. The sensor runs on 3.3 V and requires only power, ground, and an optional resistor divider to set the output hold time — from 2 seconds (pin 2 tied to ground) up to one hour (pin 2 at 3.3 V). The digital signal output is 3.3 V high/low. The snap-on lens provides a 120° detection spread focused at approximately 5 m. Key Features Compact Size – Smaller than standard PIR modules for discreet installations 3.3 V Operation – Low-voltage, breadboard-friendly Adjustable Hold Time – 2 seconds to 1 hour via resistor divider on pin 2 120° Detection Angle – Wide field of view with snap-on lens Simple Wiring – Only 4 pins: GND, on-time, VCC, signal Wiring Pin 1 – Ground Pin 2 – On-time control (ground for 2 s; resistor divider for longer delays) Pin 3 – 3.3 V power Pin 4 – Digital signal output (3.3 V high when motion detected) Specifications Model – BL412 Supply Voltage – 3.3 V Detection Range – Approximately 3–8 m (optimised at 5 m) Detection Angle – 120° Output – Digital, 3.3 V high/low Hold Time – 2 s to 1 hour (adjustable) Sensor Window – 5 × 3.8 mm Ideal For Motion-activated lighting and alarms Occupancy detection projects Low-power battery-operated sensors Arduino and Raspberry Pi motion sensing Note: This sensor operates at 3.3 V. When interfacing with a 5 V microcontroller like Arduino, power the sensor from the 3.3 V regulator.
