Description
5mm IR LED Infrared Receiver and Infrared Transmitter Diodes
The 5mm IR LED Infrared Receiver and Infrared Transmitter Diodes are a compact infrared sensing pair designed for transmitting and detecting infrared light in electronic circuits. The pair includes an IR transmitter LED that emits infrared radiation and an IR receiver that detects the transmitted or reflected infrared signal. Their standard 5mm through-hole package makes them suitable for breadboards, PCBs, prototypes and educational electronics projects.
These infrared diodes are commonly used in obstacle detection, proximity sensing, object counters, line-following robots, remote-control circuits and automation systems. The simple two-lead construction allows easy integration with microcontrollers, sensor circuits and other electronic components, making the pair suitable for both development and repair applications.
