Description

The IR LED 5mm Infrared Receiver is a highly sensitive photodiode/phototransistor designed to detect infrared light in the 940nm range, making it ideal for use in remote control systems, obstacle detection, line-following robots, and wireless communication. This component converts incoming infrared signals into electrical signals, allowing microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 to interpret IR commands.

Housed in a standard 5mm black epoxy lens, the receiver filters visible light, ensuring reliable detection of IR signals while minimizing ambient light interference. It is compatible with most IR transmitter LEDs and remote protocols (depending on application).
